Sorry if this is off topic, or this ain’t a virus. Here’s the story… I’m a big fan of onNuetral’ videos and they released hi-res videos on their site. But you have to download them. So I went and downloaded in action… zlob trojan.avi. So I went and downloaded it. I launched it and only the sound would play. My cpu usage went to 100% (I have intel pentium D dual core processor) and it would play it as a sound file yet it was .avi So then I tried to open it with quicktime and the header of it was Blaster worm when the file was called In action… zlob trojan. Here is a demonstartion of it: I uploaded it myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04hIAXDB1AM
Now… here’s the weird thing now, I scanned my pc with a boot time scan. MBAM and SAS full system scan. Blacklight rootkit scan. Kasperky online scan and a hijackthis log while everything was clean. But now Windows Media Player doesn’t work anymore. Every time I open WMP it’s extremly laggy and my cpu usage goes high. It only shows an icon of a music note in the middle. i’m getting a bit worried about this. Quicktime works fine but the person who made the videos said DivX and Winamp can watch them. The thing is i’m worried I got a macro virus that affects Windows Media Player. where can I submit it for analysis (my whole windows media player program. Or do I tell the link to the site I got the download from?
I believe this might be a virus, but I’m not entirely sure. Please forgive me if this was a false alarm.
Also please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong spot.
I can’t, because Windows Media Player is a part of the Vista installation I will have to reinstall or do some hacking (going and deleting registry items) to corrupt Windows Media Player, then it will force reinstall.
