If you guys use www.35mb.com, BEWARE!!!

I guess my suspisions were true.. the applet that you have to install in order to download files loaded to their (www.35mb.com) server is full of spyware.

I don't know if you need to register to view the topic, but here's the rundown:

RIAA Gets Tough

With countless mp3 sites being shutdown, thousands are continuing to be setup with mp3 forums becomming alot more prominent...

Welcome to 35mb.com.

The Record Industries secret enemy against piracy takes on a whole new level, with an applet that is installed on a users computer which not only installs a program that searches for illegal mp3's on the users computer, which can wipe out an mp3 collection that is illegally obtained, but also sends an IP address to a main computer - tracking your activites of sites that are visited, including mp3 forums and sites.

Not only sites are targeted, but the individual - with a tracker monitoring the files that are downloaded onto a users computer...

So make sure you guys stop using it!

Here's how you get rid of it!!!

HOW TO DELETE THE 35MB.COM APPLET:

Windows XP/ME/2000/98/95

1. Open up My Computer, and browse into the C Drive
2. Proceed to your Windows directory
3. Open up the folder, "Download Program Files"
4. Find the download_35mb_com.applet... right click and select "remove"
5. Restart your computer
6. Follow steps 1 to 2, and open your "system32" folder, check for the following dll's

* ms35mb.dll
* applet35mb.dll

If they are present, delete...

7. Open up Internet Explorer (Not sure how to do this in Opera, sorry), and increase your security settings (PRIVACY tab) to High. I understand that this could cause some problems with some websites, but I'm still working out how this applet works, and it appears to be integrated into Internet Explorer.

8. While still in the Internet Explorer options, click on the ADVANCED tab and "RESTORE DEFAULTS"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I got all this information from a MP3 downloads forum.. I think it's pretty trustable...

If you've installed the applet, or you are a user of www.35mb.com, run your spyware programs (I reccomend Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware), delete the applet.. and discontinue using the site!

SPREAD THE WORD!!!
