We already know that malwares can be spread via , PDF files or by rouge flash player .. right ?? .. but the new most recent way to infect computer is using WMA ... windows media audio format music file ?? ... its hard to imagine right ?? , but if you have ever noticed ... sometimes media player asks user to download codecs or to agree some sort of licences ... and its quite common ....
But in October this year, for example, the biggest threat found by Kaspersky Lab was a Trojan Downloader named WMA Wimad.n - a Trojan masquerading as a WMA file. The Kaspersky advice is if you open a music file and your media player asks you to download a codec or read a licence agreement, don't.
So if in future you get any music file ... better make sure that its playing correct tune ...
Njoy ...
