How common is it to find malware in a cab file downloaded through recommendations made on this site? Is it even possible? The reason I ask is that Trend Micro picked up the following malware (
TROJ_ONLINEG.TZH) in a cab file that I downloaded through a reference off of this site for an addon. Obviously, the file was hosted somewhere else, so who knows. The cabs were for Zone Alarm Free and K-lite codec pack. I'm new to this stuff, so I'm not trying to flame here, just understand the risks.

Thanks,

because many of the cabs here are based on silent installers, some av can report this files as malware....
usually this are false positives...
anyway if u want to be sure just use virtual enviroment (virtual pc or vmware or else) and test your cd there.

I can't remember a single case of malware in the files published here. However it's always a good idea to pay attention especially when downloading files uploaded by new members. Obviously I can personally guarantee for all files in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=85566
