privacy violated?
I downloaded a trial program from a newsgroup a while ago. It was in a .zip or .rar file that was self extracting which contained a .exe file. When the file finished extracting, my internet browser popped open and went to some .to domain web site with cell phone backgrounds and tones.
What could the extraction this program have possibly done? Could it have scanned my computer's contents? Could it have sent my computer information(computer name etc) to a 3rd party? What are the possibilities? |
