Bearshare MP3 files with VBS files?

[Clocker]

THis is weird. Working on my brother-in-law's comp...

I'm moving all his MP3s that he downloaded with Bearshare to a new hard drive. I'm noticing that ALL of the MP3 files have accompanying .vbs files of the same name. THis doesn't seem right to me. ANybody have any idea what they are there for? They're all in the Bearshare download directory....

Thanks,

Sounds like he has a virus on there. I would check it with some AV software.

Tell him to get off bearshare and to use a p2p that allows file verification.
