DriveSpacio in Newsletter appears to be a virus

[link to this post]

Ok I downloaded the above and it just opens a command prompt and I don't know what I am now infected with. Thanks Zen.

OK I have scanned my system and it appears to be clean, what have I downloaded? It's 15 bytes from hotshare.net titled Drivespacio0.1.0.exe, is it just a broken file download? Virustotal comes up clean, something not in the wild yet? Help

Panic over, I opened the file with a hex editor and it says "File Not Found" LOL so it's not a Virus, apologies Zen.

Well, panic not entirely over, perhaps - I've just been back to hotshare.net (the site where you can supposedly download DriveSpacio for free), and Norton tells me of two threats - one security risk and one spyware. These are threats on the site, needless I didn't go as far as to download the wretched software itself. Anybody from Zen care to comment?

I'm running Norton Security Suite version 16.5.0.134 with all patches and virus up to date I can't replicate this issue at all from the link in the Zen newsletter right through to downloading.

Oh. Here I was thinking you were 'switched on' and knew better. Shame on you.

Hehe, if Norton tells you a site isn't safe, you can assume that it probably is safe. If it doesn't warn you that a site isn't safe then beware.

This assumes that you were patient enough to wait 15 minutes for the site to load in the first place....

Or wait 30mins for the PC to boot up, then another 15 to load post-login... and then another 15whilst it opens then closes the pop-up that warns it will expire in 3 months and so would one care to renew now...

What "uninstall" option....
