You devil! I'm pretty sure I remember running into a file that looked like that and a quick poke around showed it wasn't anything valid.
Funny how these things work since I'm pretty sure I remember running into it around 2008 (i'm a few years younger).
I think i just deleted it though since I was suspicious of most strange files back then; I was the nerd who didn't have friends so i used to troll forums for anything i could get my hands on.
"running into it"... Yeah. Right. ;)
Not sure how WinMX works, but back in the old DC++ days, you not only searched for things but could navigate directory structures directly from users connected to the same hub. It was uncommon for me to browse through some of the biggest/interesting users and see what they were sharing.
By doing that, I'm sure I stumbled upon my fair share of sketchy stuff unintentionally, so it's not hard to imagine the same for others :)
Oops my finger slipped on the download button and I accidentally waited 2 days to let it finish. Clumsy me
