    Question Bonus Folder/EASY MONEY.EXE

    What is this easy money.exe (5 MB, or 5.50 MB)?
    You can find this in any torrent, attached to any software, like: Bonus Folder/easy money.exe What is his job? Why my AVG antivirus and Spybot keep silent? If you try to attach it in mediafire.com, where you have scan, then it will be fail with message for virus or troian. What TF is this exe? What of job he doing?

    As you say, easy money.exe is found in many torrents, one of the pitfalls of using such, and/or P2P, to obtain software.

    Have you tried locating the folder?

    Best regards.

    You said one can find this in any torrent and indeed a search shows easy money.exe is often included in the download bundle.

    If you had been able to locate the folder, I would have advised you not to open it but to zip or rar and send to: detections(AT)spybot.info (Replace AT with @)

    However, I will forward the link you gave to our detectives.

    Regarding P2P please see: File Sharing, otherwise known as Peer To Peer. (P2P)

    On a P2P network, when a user wants a file, installed P2P software locates any copies of the file within that network.
    Torrents are usually large specialized files utilized in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.

    Best regards.
