Trojan warning

Just a heads up to the community: There's a person going around linking to an .exe file on megaupload.com, trying to pass it off as "Recount". It isn't Recount, don't run it, don't be dumb. It is a confirmed keylogger.

They tried uploading it here, it got denied immediately. They tried posting a thread about it, the post got deleted. The person got both account and IP banned, and the link they gave got censored, so there's no way it will show up here. But we wanted to make sure everyone was warned, in case you see/hear about it somewhere else.

This is what the various virus checkers find when they look at it:

This is exactly the sort of reason we don't allow linking to offsite downloads. ^^

Thanks for the warning Cairenn. I will be sure to let my guild know about this. Its bad enough that one of my guildmates got nailed by that in-game spam of an exe thanks to his mum who turned off the firewall on his test PC which allowed this thing to infect his entire network (so she could view a couple of websites). Anyway, Megaupload (I don't like that site anyway) will be going on our guild's blacklist.

Really, don't download addons from non addon websites at all.
