When a user attempts to load one of these MP3 and MPG files, they do not get the music/video they were hoping for; instead they are directed to download a file named PLAY_MP3.exe. In fact, the MP3/MPG file they downloaded was completely fake, playing no media clip what so ever.
If users agree to download and run PLAY_MP3.exe (detected as Generic PUP.a with McAfee DAT files) a 4,800 word EULA is displayed.
If the users agree to the EULA and choose to proceed, adware "FBrowsingAdvisor" and "SurfingEnhancer" is installed as described in the EULA.
If Firefox is not installed users may see an error message:
PlayMP3.exe from PlayMP3.biz, which is installed, is simply a browser control wrapped in an exe, and doesn’t actually play local MP3 files, but rather loads a webpage running the Wimpy MP3 Flash player. This page lets the user listen to a canned selection of a couple dozen songs.
