			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new malware virus MediaControl.exe found in some parts of central asia late this month.</p>
<p>It changes the extension of all the media files like AVI (.avi), Music (mp3, ...) to .jpg.<br />
This just canges the file extension. Not the file format. To play the media file, you need to re-change the file extension to the previous type, or open the file using the media player. Malware name is <strong>MediaControl.exe.</strong><span id="more-66"></span><br />
It internally creates a folder by name "mcont" in AppData of OS drive. AutoRun inside mcont also puts the MediaControl.exe to the winwos start up of msconfig.</p>

<p>Once you remove the mallware, your computer is free of mallware but, you are left with thousands of your media files changed its exentsion to .jpg. It is not an easy job to change the file extension one by one. You can use an <strong>Auto-Renamer programs</strong>.</p>
<p>We recomond you the AndRenamer program. You can download it here: [<a href="ftp://ftp2.antp.be/antp/software/antrenamer2_install.exe" target="_blank">ftp://ftp2.antp.be/antp/software/antrenamer2_install.exe</a>]</p>
