Hi there, I installed the patch 1.9 yesterday and overnight my virus software Avast picked up a worm in the winmx program folder within the settings.dat file.

Guest have you recently downloaded a file being advertised in many rooms by someone that goes by the nick name of ====Admin====, that enters a room, sends pms to several folks on the user list, then leaves.

They send pm messages like:
Hi mate, the password logins are in my shares, thanks rob.

This file in the shared folder looks similar to this
Code: [Select]

File says
Password.txt                           .exe


Or something like this?

Although its unknown what this virus is, it wipes out your WinMX.  I dont have exact details as yet. but this individual has been reported to his ISP by hundreds of us now that have room logs and times and dates of this activity.

thanks for the reply, no I only d/l it from winmxgroup page.  Avast has isolated the worm in it's *chest* and winmx connects as usual.

Okay good to know.

Just to be clear tho the association of the Install 1.9 seems logical to me because of the time frame in which you installed however, that Install 1.9 doesnt touch your settings.dat file.

I would be curious to know more about this to be sure its not a new worm put out by the RIAA to attack WinMX users with.

Interesting and glad your ok now..

That actually was my concern too. I'm going to reinstall a clean version of winmx and scan, then 1.9 and scan again.

Yes I've registered now  :D
