Warning about play3w.com

[iNF3RN0]

Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded a movie Die Hard 4.0, and I found that it's fake because after downloading when I try to play the movie it displays a message about telling me to visit the site: go.play3w.com to download the free media player which can play this movie clearly..

And when I try to download that shitty player my anti-virus gives me a warning that the file which you are trying to download contains a trojan (can be use as a spyware) and then I found the following:

I am posting in because it you also downloaded any movie which says that it require this shitty player then delete it ASAP..else there might be of data theft!

Thanks,

I am sure you were using a out-dated anti-virus and I am sure now your PC is already infected with their spyware I am not the only one who had this problem..there are many peoples on the internet reported this!


@Chando: it was a 700MB Xvid avi file.

For lots of reasons, they can add advertisement in your web browsers and you can't even know that, read your Credit card numbers and other information which you use during browsing the internet etc..

Any other sites like that. Would be useful if someone made a thread containing bogus sites such as these.
