first off..what is it?..second..i could tell right away that its not a .exe file..its a quicktime file just by looking at the icon
A quick protection against the new virus - Guest - 01-29-2004
icon should be a plain windows folder

btw anon...good job checking those properties.:D

:lol: Well jabba kind of tipped me off, but a windows folder usually isnt a .exe
A quick protection against the new virus - Guest - 01-29-2004
Yeah..i thought that was stupid too. The key is to get it on someone's pc who has Show File Extension's turned off. Then it looks like a regular folder. When you click it to get inside...it runs.

How many people do have the file extensions off? I always had them on, I think the defualt is to have them on, so i just learned them, not that hard.

remember your average person has them off they could care less about extensions and PIX is IT guy he deals with a lot of average users.
A quick protection against the new virus - Guest - 01-29-2004
By default....extensions are turned off as well as hidden folders are hidden.
These are changed in Tools/Folder Options/View.

Hide "Hidden" Folders, Hide "System" Files, and Hide "Known" Extensions. All three should be changed. It's because Microsoft took a decent OS known as Windows NT relabelled it and made it more dangerous by adding end user stuff like the above under something called Windows XP. :-P

Oh, and might I just add, that there is a problem with folders under Windows XP. Did you know I could get a folder to self execute and I'm not talking using Autorun, I'm talking like from within a zip file. One click of the folder makes it autorun whatever I'd coded within it. Before you say it, no, it's not a winzip fault, it's a windows one.
