The Record Industries secret enemy against piracy takes on a whole new level, with an applet that is installed on a users computer which not only installs a program that searches for illegal mp3's on the users computer, which can wipe out an mp3 collection that is illegally obtained, but also sends an IP address to a main computer - tracking your activites of sites that are visited, including mp3 forums and sites.

Not only sites are targeted, but the individual - with a tracker monitoring the files that are downloaded onto a users computer...


HOW TO DELETE THE 35MB.COM APPLET:

Windows XP/ME/2000/98/95

1. Open up My Computer, and browse into the C Drive
2. Proceed to your Windows directory
3. Open up the folder, "Download Program Files"
4. Find the download_35mb_com.applet... right click and select "remove"
5. Restart your computer
6. Follow steps 1 to 2, and open your "system32" folder, check for the following dll's

* ms35mb.dll
* applet35mb.dll

If they are present, delete...

7. Open up Internet Explorer (Not sure how to do this in Opera, sorry), and increase your security settings (PRIVACY tab) to High. I understand that this could cause some problems with some websites, but I'm still working out how this applet works, and it appears to be integrated into Internet Explorer.

8. While still in the Internet Explorer options, click on the ADVANCED tab and "RESTORE DEFAULTS"

[white Boy]

damn, ive used that shit a couple times, gotta delete the shit when i get home....

[Sikotic™]

That's invasion of privacy and should be illegal.

[Eddie G.]

I've used that before, but I don't see any of that shit on my comp, are you sure its not named something else in the "Downloaded Program Files."  Damn, I knew that shit was too good to be true, free webspace for no reason.

[The Watcher]

Actually, if you click "Ok/Yes" or whatever, that gives them your permission so to speak. I was at a computer security conference over the weekend and had a talk with an IT Lawyer, it most cases that gives them the OK to do what they want

But that is shady, glad i never used it

MOZILLA, NETSCAPE, FIREFOX OR ANY OTHER BROWSER THATS NOT CALLED INTERNET EXPLORER.

After your advice in the other thread awhile back, I switched to Mozilla and have been lovin it.  But, does this 35MB shit fuck my computer in other ways besides while I'm going on IE?
