[Full-disclosure] Social Eng. with Windows Media Player and Codec Download

["Elia Florio" <eflorio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

there's some malware/adware that try to use .ASX files as vector
to infect windows machines by forcing users to download and install 
executables.
The trick (not an exploit!!!!) is to convince people that Windows Media 
Player
needs an additional codec....so that users confirm the download of an EXE 
file.

In the page there's a reference for an .ASX file:

<ASX version="3.0">
<ENTRY>
 <TITLE>Impossibile Trovare il Codec</TITLE>
 <REF HREF="video.avi"/>
 <DURATION VALUE="60:00"/>
 <BANNER HREF="codec-alert.gif">
  <ABSTRACT>Clicca qui per scaricare i codec aggiornati</ABSTRACT>
  <MOREINFO 
HREF="http://www.vcodecreceive.com/download/VideoCodec3_05b_5.exe"; />
 </BANNER>
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

The EXE file downloaded is probably some Download.Trojan or Trojan.Clicker 
packed with Nullsoft NSIS.
