I don't think anyone here knows what NTP is. They are the little guy in this case! Before we stone NTP to death let's take a closer look at them. NTP was found buy Tom Campana http://news.com.com/Key+figure+in+BlackBerry+case+ dies/2100-1041_3-5238198.html a guy that invented staff, just like many others on this forum. He just did not wanted to be riped off by a big company!
This is a stupid question.
But can someone explain why windows would execute a file with.zip extention?
How windows knows if a given file is executable or not?
(can't be looking at extentions or it would not execute.zip files:)
Thanks

I had a chance to examine one with a .zip attachment. Inside of the .zip file exists another .pif file.
Which means that someone has to click it twice to get infected.I just thought this virus was somehow innovative and it spoofed the Windows into executing .zip files.
