Hi. Did someone experienced problems of worms and spyware using eMule?
When I use it (with the PtoP provider of avast and Kerio personal firewall - which can’t stealth the port 135 in Windows XP SP2), the NET protection of avast blocks many attacks that try to exploit the DCOM and the LSASS services, but the adsl connection is often aborted, because the Remote Access Dialer (rasautou.exe) starts.
Now I’m using Windows Firewall, integrated in XP SP2, since it stealths all ports from incoming intrusions, but I don’t want to install and use eMule before I resolve this security problem.
Any idea? PLEASE!
No,eMule doesn’t contain any kind of malware or spyware.
avast! probably detected something that you were downloading in eMule…
I feel exactly the same…
I don’t think there could be worms in music or in a film of David Lynch, Alejandro Amenábar o Marco Bechis…
Hi AndreAerdnA,
No I think the code is clean, the accompaning data streams could be different. Data cookies and all. If you want to read about this from a webmaster’s view, go here: http://www.ozzu.com/ftopic27917.html
We thought that BitTorrent was clean, but they fell for the transponder gang in the end.

Thank you very much for the link, polonius.
My knowledge of english language isn’t great, but I understood.

No,it’s impossible that eMule would carry any malware by itself.
If you have downloaded it from www.emule-project.net ,then it’s impossible.
Each file is carrying an unique MD5 hash signature acompanied with ICH and AICH advanced corruption algorithms to prevent any abuse of MD5.
This way it’s completely impossible to inject other things into clean files.
Also official emule from page above (and mods supported by eMule-Project.net) have a public available source code,so they can’t carry anything else.
