[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 795817, member: 32260"] I think that removing shortcuts (LNK) from file extensions can be OK for [USER=75970]@notabot[/USER], but generally it opens a very dangerous vector of attack through sponsors. For example, the shortcut can use CMD and Bitsadmin.exe to download/run the malware. It is also easy to make the shortcut with any kind of malware (EXE, DLL, etc.) added to it via Alternate Data Stream (ADS). If the user will run such a shortcut, then the commandline (with sponsor) in the shortcut can run the malware from ADS. [/QUOTE]
