i'm sure may mga naka encounter na sa inyo nung error message sa preferred media player nyo matapos nyong i-download yung isang movie na gusto nyo.

i don't exactly remember what the error message was but everytime you play the file that you just downloaded, it shows you a screen that tells you youre not gonna be able to play that file unless you download a certain media player that has a codec for it.

then you go to the site and download the player because its free!! well, well, what a surprise!

but you know what, youre still not gonna be able to play that movie in that media player...

and wow! youre antivirus software now keeps popping up telling you that you have tons of viruses/malwares in your pc...

what great social engineering strategy...and you and your pc just got pwned....

i first encountered this about three weeks ago. i know that theres something fishy with that file so i then proceeded to my lovely wikipedia and i was lucky enough to find an article regarding 3wplayer

deym... ndi ko pa na encounter yan pero ang na encounter ko is ung DOMPLAYER yung lumalabas... like pag dl nyo ng movie sasabhin you have to download dom player tapos when you try to dl it it'll direct you to a site then it will ask you to sign up sometihng or call a number tapos pag call mo un pala may bayad yung call... buti i researched it muna kasi dami kumakalat na ganong panloloko.

ingat ingat lang sa pag dl... may lalabas din na pangkontra jan...
ayos!

nakaka alarm naman ito. salamat sa headsup. ako pagkadownload ko ng file scan ko muna. dapat may mga codecs ka na din para marami kang supported na files.

You should have not downloaded that media player unless it has a good review. Common media players like Winamp, Windows Mediaplayer, and Quicktime should be enough. Just download the required codec. I've encountered that multiple times. if my media player cand play them even with the tons of codec I have downloaded, I always delete the file.

yun nga problema eh...

usually kasi ang types nung mga files na na download mo na may ganung message eh .avi din...

tapos yung file name, kinokopya nila dun sa mga respected uploaders like aXXo(if youre familiar with his name, he's one of the top movie uploaders sa isohunt at piratebay)

nga pala, yung 1st post ko eh may direct link sa Wikipedia article about 3wPlayer...click nyo lang  :-)

add ko nga pala... before you download the torrent file, dapat basahin nyo muna yung comments...very helpful lalo na pag suspicious kayo sa ida-download nyo...

kaso hindi maiiwasan may mga sites and files na konti lang ang mga comments. or minsan naman wala talagang comment. tsambahan na lang hehe


buti naman ako hindi pa nabiktima niyan

^haha isa pa yan!

naka zip yung file...tapos pag open mo hihingi ng password...pag open mo naman sa instructions sa notepad o dun sa .nfo file ang gusto nilang gawin mo eh pumunta ka dun sa site nila at gumawa ng kung anuano(sign up, browse, etc) para lang ibigay nila sayo yung password...

gusto lang nila kumita eh...pero ok lang parang tulong mo na din sa kanila...kaso pano nga kung may spyware o virus yung site? mas maganda nga wala na lang...
