WARNING: Edonkey is spreading out viruses!

Postby egov on Sat Mar 12, 2005 3:55 pm

That's it folks, the partners softwares New.net, Webhancer and Outlaster that are bundled in the new Edonkey are backdoor and trojan viruses in their nature.
Here are they in order (click on the name for virus info)

What is funny though is that even if you uncheck them (as I did) they still infect your machine.

I think you're confusing E-Donkey and E-mule a little. Unless your E-donkey is really still at v .43
