[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Anti-eMule files: cause 100% CPU intentionally!, I found 5 diff files who cause that.

Computer configuration:
eMule Plus version:	1.2
Using proxy:	No
Firewall:	No
CPU:	AMD AlthonXP Burton core 2500+
Memory:	512MB
Operating System:	winXP pro corp SP2 integrated nLite modified
Updated drivers for network and video:	Yes

I found 5 seperate files (with the same name) all of which under 50kb in size (but different sizes individually) which, once completed, cause emule to be stuck at 100% cpu usage (stayed that way over week, surviving restarts and even when i copy pasted all the partial files to a different computer!). The files cannot be deleted from within emule (to delete them, turn off emule and delete the partials from the emule partial directory).

I have kept all the relevant files and they are available here:
http://home.comcast.net/~taltamir/eMule_bug.rar

as you notice there is a part.bad there aswell, to ensure I don't delete something i want I only deleted the .part file leaving the rest after each emule restart. Emule detected the file was missing and did whatever correction it does... I tried restoring those files and the 100% complete files who cause 100% cpu usage came back... I just went ahead and moved them all (with all associated files) to an appropriate directory, compressed them, and uploaded... hope this proves useful in tracking the issue (as I am certain its a malicious instance propagated by anti p2p people)

If you want to live dangerously, open a .part.txtsrc file with Notepad and copy/ paste the ed2k link inside. Still trying to complete. Very successful exploit. Will have to close client and delete part files to recover from the condition.
