    Beware of downloading a virus if you download the

    Ocean's Thirteen[2007][Repack]DvDrip[MultiLanguage]-aXXo.avi

    This isn't a movie at all, when you attempt to view the movie, a screen comes up saying you have to download some software to convert it. It asks you to go to a website "go.play3w.com" were there is some software of the same name. It's the software that has the virus.
    Norton says it's adownloader of some kind.

    Beware!!!

    Actually last I checked they always used Xvid, not DivX. Anyway, I guess it must be a wmv file? Don't know of anyway to get an avi to do popups. Should just play. If so then I doubt it would effect much other than WMP.

    Draw your own conclusions.. Without a real link to the download source I can't tell you.

    go.play3w.com is a well known malware site. And the way to get any avi/wmv file to do this junk is to encrypt in such a way as to require a license to view it.. Typical of the porn sites and malware/virus spreaders. It's probably a win32 derivative which sets up some zombie ftp/ddos process. Have a quick search for "hide.*" and see what you find.
    The best policy is delete it, and post some abuse about malware/virus on the torrent comments

    Be careful of AXXO files. I downloaded two more today.

    Evan.Almighty2007[DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo.avi is another.

    If it looks to good to be true it problemly is. Anything that isn't more than a month old expect it is fake.

    timmins99 did you contact the site where you got the virus from? i am sure that the site would want to know that there is something with thier files did you get a refund from the site for a bad file? i am sure that you paid good money for the service to get theese movies so soon as Evan.Almighty2007 just hit the theathers a few days ago, also if you had a good virus protection you would not have this problem, also it would be a good idea to read the forum rules concerning piracy, good luck
