[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1031180"] Malicious shortcut (LNK) files have been around for 20+ years. They are still popular as download cradles. WIndows hardening prevents this sort of malware \ attack. Microsoft recommends blocking [CODE]c m d[/CODE] and [CODE]p o w e r s h e l l[/CODE] by default. If a user does not have the capacity or inclination to harden and manage their own Windows system, then they need to find a protection method that works for them personally. [/QUOTE]
