Tell that to the article, not me... but I do admit a preference of VLC over MPC, personally

Never tried mpc but i love vlc. It plays pretty nearly every format out there and has for a long time. Also it's caps for boosting the volume level come in handy allot.

I've just reported this to the nice folks at Malwarebytes on Twitter -

One of the worst sites for delivering malware laden codecs is BitSnoop

The site is in my Hosts file.

I have tried downloading malicious codecs that i have found just to see if NOD32 catches them and it has detected all of them.

You have to look out for the site that want you to download a .exe file that then goes out and downloads the movie file.

I always just go look some where else and never download the .exe or run it to get the movie file.

I don't see many like you are describing any more more of the .exe files in my case.
