Fake Media Files Spread Malware
A McAfee advisory warns of fake MP3 / MPG files containing malware, rather than the expected music or video content. The files have been appearing on various file-sharing networks, including Limewire and eDonkey.
When a user attempts to play one of these files, directed to download a file named PLAY_MP3.exe. All this will do, if the user accepts the EULA, is serve up ads on the infected PC.
The EULA is displayed above, and personally you'd have to be pretty dumb to agree and install it. The "Play Free MP3s" title might prove attractive to some, but come on. Why would anyone install this dross.
At any rate, the trojan itself is pretty popular, with McAfee saying it's been detected 360,000 times since it was added to their virus database.
