Ok so I was going to poke around thereal.com's forums for a second and came across this large list of what is reported to be malware coming from Strangemusicinc.com.. We've all read about this or experienced it and it has literally kept me from viewing just about anything Strange Music related for some time now. I'm sure it's nothing I can't just clean up but more important than that, I'm curious what it's doing there, what its purpose is in regards to Strange Music and its fans, and why nobody has said anything about this officially.

I could see Strange not wanting to say shit about it because that's the whole point of malware really, but's not as if it's gone unnoticed.

Malware in jpg files? I don't get it.

I'm really asking because to be honest, Strange Music is the only site that has given me this message. I don't visit many place on the interwebs, so I'm not saying they're any different than others, but I've avoided visiting any Strange related websites for months now. Isn't that something they should remedy, perhaps? If your fans are afraid to go to your site, and it's not just because of the spooky forum, there's a problem involved in your marketing strategy.

I would think it might have something to do with the ActiveX control MsVidC. It might be some kind of variant of the following recent 0 day exploit.
