11. What happens if a file containing a virus is camouflaged inside a seemingly harmless file?

Although camouflaged files containing encrypted 'virused' files would pass through a virus-checker, as the virus itself would be encrypted (and therefore scrambled), it could not possibly be triggered or cause any harm. Opening a camouflaged file simply reads the archive information, which would again not trigger any hidden viruses. The only way a virus could be triggered would be to extract a file from the Camouflaged file and then run that file (which would have to be capable of containing a virus, for example, an .exe, .com, script file or Word document) without first checking it.
If you're concerned about viruses, simply extract the files from the camouflaged file and scan them using your virus checker


My directories are clean...another worm possibly infected the file and is causing this behaviour, or it is downloaded from a 3rd party site.


uninstalling cleans itself out fine, too.

well this may be irrelevant....... but..... when im in #ukta on mirc........ after i been online for more than 10 mins or so..... if i try ti send a file to sumone it says that i cant, cos my ip isnt my own... i aint d/l'ed any of danceaddicts stuff (sorry dood ) but i did virus scan.... and it came up with 4 infected files... all of which i know where i got and know what files they r... they r little gay exe thingys.... i cleaned em all... but still the same happens... i d/l'ed from the file sharing area wher danceaddict posts his tunes.... so maybe other files in there are or have been infected?????? i dont know.... maybe im clutching at straws, but i suggest be careful, incase it is sumthing from there, but probably im wrong ????!!????

Well, it's possible. It's easy to hide files in exe files. There's a program out there called silk rope that does that, iirc. You're also running NT and me 98. There seems to be way too much time put into the program for it to be a virus, though... Who knows. It's likely the remains of something else in your system. I know the klez worm infected my totalrecorder and made it reinstall itself whenever I ran it.

I've run camoflage for a while and haven't had any problems with it. I haven't downloaded any of Danceaddict's reconstructions either. It's entirely possible that your problems are being caused by something else. Stuff like that is a bitch to get rid of.

i been meanin to uninstall this for awhile...my comps been slow...everythin takes forever even though i defraged a couple of days ago...so i uninstalled it last night...cept the folder didnt go...anyway...my comps alright now...kinda...lol...

A little update.

The best way to remove it is to delete the folder right away on a fresh boot, do not run any applications. That'll get rid of it.

Appologizes to Danceaddict, this thread was somewhat negative towards him, as if it was his fault, which it really isn't. It's the assbags behind the software.

One thing I've noticed when I had the misfortunes of having it installed is that the CPU usage jumped to the roof, so it indeed does affect system performance. I'd also advise anybody who has had it installed to scan for viruses.

someone name his reconstructions...
