Jerald Josey BitDefender Awards Buy BItdefender Antivirus Game Safe - Antivirus Defense BitDefender s GameSafe keeps the impact on processing power, memory virtual memory to a minimum, allowing gamers to maintain in game responsiveness and eliminating interruptions while fighting epic battles! Games, especially online games, are some of the most demanding PC applications in existence. Because of the need to provide near-instant reaction to users actions, lack of processing power will result in delays in packet transmission, adversely affecting the gaming experience. GameSafe s gamer mode can be turned on with one click. When activated it will: Minimize processor time memory consumption Postpone automatic updates scans Eliminate all alerts and pop-ups Scan only the most important files Processor time Processor time used is probably the best measure of responsiveness . Background processes that dramatically reduce CPU cycles (like on-access antivirus) are highly undesirable. Memory consumption The amount of memory antivirus scanners use, greatly influences the overall responsiveness of the operating system. Virtual memory Games tend to be huge consumers of memory, so any memory swapping is bound to produce slow-downs. BUY NOW!

Trojan.Downloader.WMA.Wimad While accessing the .wma which is a media file extension the following behavior is noticed A browser page opens to a certain webpage ie missing-codecs.com or fastmp3player.com It tries to download and execute when the user hits run on IE a malware from the mentioned site.The prompted file to download is named Codec.exe which has the Windows Media Playernbsp icon the name could vary PLAYMP3.exe or another.Take notice that the file could have any other extension that Windows Media Player can handle such as .asf, .wmw, .aiff, .midi or others.Here is how the malware looks like in action. Spreading: medium Damage: high Size: aprox 3 Mb Discovered: 2008 Jun 17 SYMPTOMS: While accessing the ".wma" which is a media file extension the following behavior is noticed :

1. A browser page opens to a certain webpage ( ie missing-codecs.com or fastmp3player.com )
2. It tries to download and execute (when the user hits run on IE ) a malware from the mentioned site.
3. The prompted file to download is named "Codec.exe" which has the Windows Media Player icon (the name could vary ("PLAY_MP3.exe" or another).

Take notice that the file could have any other extension that Windows Media Player can handle such as ".asf", ".wmw", ".aiff", ".midi" or others. Here is how the malware looks like in action. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This is an disguised application under a common media file extension meant to trick the user to download and execute a malware. Usually it states the false incapacity of your software configuration to view this kind of media. Due to the common misconception that malware or viruses are only in executables, the user could be lead to trust this strategy and install without his knowledge the downloaded threat. Basically the user runs the file in Windows Media Player and gets a browser window that prompts him to download a file named "Codec.exe" . This is actually an exploit of the media files because its an available feature in stead of an attack to the format. Because it doesn't have a infection spreading ( doesn't infect files or copy itself into different locations into a network or local mirrors of the file ) so the method of spreading of this kind of malware is user based or web based ( the file appears in different locations on the internet as a download): through sharing or media downloads. So the file could be saved with different names of various celebrities, usually events or generally appealing things to users. You can see a description of a malware that this kind of trojan downloads here : http://www.bitdefender.ro/VIRUS-1000279-ro--Adware.PlayMp3z.A.html Removal instructions: Please let BitDefender disinfect your files.
