I apologise if this subject has been aired here before but I am new
here.
I have been dwl video music files on WinMX for a while and every so
often I get one that sends my CPU crazy. Basically as soon as I try to
do anything with the file the CPU runs at 100% so that everything else
just runs at a snails pace. The only way I have found to deal with the
problem is to delete the file. Having spend a few hours dwl the file
that is a bit drastic but seems to be the only way out.
Can anyone tell me what is happening. Is it some sort of trojan/virus
or something? If so is there a way of detecting such files before you
dwl?
TIA for any information or help.
