When I use Windows Media Player for playing MP3 files after 9sec of playing the MP3 a download window opens offering me to download Windows Media Player Flash Codec Plugin from www.flashcodec.com, I choose save but AVG antivirus reports it as a trojan and the download gets interrupted, this keeps poping out, it's annoying and stops WMP from working, also when it happends IE temporary opens a new tab with adress "http://isvbr.net/?t=3&embedded=false"(When I open it I get the download link). Got any idea what to do to stop? i think this mite hav happned bc when for the first time i oppened am mp3 file on the wmp it said that it need an file extention for it(dun rember the exact words) and i clicked yes and i also clicked on dont show this dilog again check to!

Mack

Are you sure it didn't say that the file had an extention it didn't recognise. Do you want you open it anyway?

Where did you get the mp3?

Nicodemius

Yes Yes,thats exactly wot it said!!and its with not one mp3 file its with all of the mp3's.And they are from various sources! and those mp3 s used to play perfectly fine on my computer before i re instaled my windows.

Nicodemius

i also tryed re instaling the WMP 11 and even roled back to 9 series wmp

Mack

You probibly need the codec so I would download it.

Its not a good idea to run programs with extentions not recognised but in this case im sure its just a codec problem.

Nicodemius

i alredy have a codec pack its k lite mega codec pack it used to play the mp3 s just fine before and it plays it fine on my laptop to.1 more thing if i forward the mp3 out of the 9sec period it plays them fine then!

Mack

In media player go to tools options and and go through the tabs unchecking any box related to geting information from the internet. Might help.

Nicodemius

Nops, just tryed that duzent help! hey izent there any file that i can delete manully that will reset the media player to its defalt state so when the dilog appers again so i can click no??

This sounds more like a malware problem to me - post to the security thread and folow their instructions.

Hi Try the following

1) download this Utility

http://www.infospyware.com/Software/.../FS-MP3Fix.zip

using a download manager eg. Free Download Manager

2) Extract the files to the folder with the mp3's
3) double-click on FS-MP3Fix.exe
4) type in 2 for english and press enter
5) hit the Enter Key again and wait until it's finished processing
6) hit the Enter Key again to Finish
7) delete the mp3's without the '_FS added the file name and try the songs now

It's NOT an mp3 file. It's most likely a wma file renamed as such, or a wmx file (windows media file redirector). Those contain popups (damn microsoft for allowing that in their windows media files - damn them really!).
It's a very common scheme on file sharing networks: fake files with popups (or the video) that says "you need to go to site xyz and download missing codec/activex plugin", and it turns out it's a trojan or some other form of malware. Thank god you had AVG running!

flashcodec.com is one such scam/malware site! steer clear of it!

Finally here's how to check that the file is not an mp3:
get gspot http://www.headbands.com/gspot (get version 2.70a - version 2.21 can't read mpeg) and open the "so-called mp3" with it. If it were really an mp3, you should see one MPEG audio stream (try it on other MP3 files)

HI!

I haven't search how to resolve this problem but I have my own (simply, if you have SoundForge or simmilar prg.) way to solve the problem:
1. Load infected mp3 file into SF (SoundForge)
2. (you will see one "line" named: CMD URLANDEXIT http://isvbr.net....)
3. Right click on it and than chose: DELETE
4. Save mp3 file under the same (or any other) name
5. .... anjoy!

Salute, Tomislav (you will find my "official" mail on: www.tpencro.com)

I finnaly got sick of the problem and just deleted the MP 3 files that were not playin man made a new collection.I dont think thre is a soloution to this prob, tried most of the codecs and players on the MP3 files but they did not even play the file, th i still cant find the reason that why did this happen.the new files i downloaded play fine with no prob.

tpencro

Well done!?
You got no more problem! Deleted mp3's surely can't play but solution is still there - up!
Everything you need to do (but now you can't!) was to clean one GRAPHIC line in which is STORED old DOS command (.com - CMD in WIN's)) with it's direction " performed"
by trojan virus (did you clean him?)!
Salute!
