Recently my download manager has shown me a message box to download "beelden.zip" file, when ever i try to watch a movie through zmovie website. I thought it might be containing some adware programs but it doesn't contain any ad ware programs so be cool. [but don't download it]
You may ask me, "How do you certifying that?"
You may ask me, "How do you certifying that?"
The above attached image will show you that, how i have verified that, it doesn't contain any ad ware programs. But you can't expect the same scenario every where. So be careful. It doesn't matter about what they contain. whenever you get automated download request came through your download manager/ from your browser's download manager in a particular/similar video streaming websites or any pirated software downloading sites or online games playing sites, just ignore them. Even though "beelden.zip" containing no executable files, there is a possibility to get infection from those pictures. Because there is a way called "binding method" it is used to combing one image with an executable file. So whenever if you try to open that image, it will open that image like opening the image file but at the same time it will trigger the execution of that hidden executable file. so be aware and ignore the automated download requests made by your download manager software/ your browser's download manager because of some scripts integrated in those website.
Don't blame or stop using that download manager/browser. It is not their fault. It is your fault. Actually that automated download request is triggered by the scripts of the websites you visit. so blame those websites.
