Viruses and worms

Avast stopped a couple threats under the name of

DNS.exe
DNS[1].exe

I got them sent to me while uninstalling a plugin apps toolbox I got with a CNET download, it’s a Text TO Speech program, and remains uninfected.
Spesoft Text To MP3 Speaker is the name.

Good program, shady extra junk, it’s adware by the way, so, nothing that serious.

You’d better be rid of it, because it can be high mem consuming, see: http://www.file.net/process/dns.exe.html

also the CNET downloade may contain some extra browser/toolbar crap…and that is why many dont use CNET anymore

also, after downloading stuff…you may check the files here before you run them :wink:
