The fake file claims to be an mp3 of Girls Aloud
Almost 500,000 people have been caught out by a booby-trapped media file, says security firm McAfee. The fake file poses as a music track, short video or movie and has been widely seeded on file-sharing networks to snare victims. McAfee said the fake media file outbreak was the largest it had seen for about three years. Those running the fake file get bombarded with pop-up ads and risk compromising the safety of their PC. The fake file or trojan has been widely distributed on the eDonkey and Limewire file-sharing networks.
