Re: New DC ++ Version : Watch out

It appears there has been an ongoing hack on Download.com . The versions of dc++ that have been downloaded from them are mostly all infected. This does seem to be an isolated attack on peeps that get DC++ from Download.com the virus is not attempting to harm the pc in any way it is however logging the ip of the user..... I am somewhat wondering if this isn't a way for the boys at sourcefourge to keep track of who is using their shit... Or could be a way to infect RIAA members or feds who knows.. I just thought it was odd that it hid itself with an ad bar....Could have been a way to get around the feds.

Now to my ? Most virus software has added this type report as a false positive. Problem is this is a virus... It plants the loader... Anyone have a suggestion on how to protect from this.
