Before i got an account from trap17 i used to have one from www.utenti.lycos.it, it was a free hosting account, so i received a ftp account, a web access account and a web access account for php-myadmin.
Strangely you could upload everything with any size, although the page said you could only upload files with no more than 300 kb per upload the real thing was that you could upload file of any size, actually once i oploaded an 1.5MB exe and the server didnt delete it or break the upload.
After some days of being registered in there i realized that my computer starts to run slower than normal and many of the exes were considered as non 32bit compatible...it was the time to investigate what was happening, so i start to look for strange things on my pc and found a "dl.exe" and i opened it with Notepad, the xex, wasnt a real exe, it was just a copule of lines of JavaScript that connected to utenti.lycos.it, and downloaded much more things, and after a copule of days investigating i read it was a virus that sends itself as to random IPs. The virus infects every exe so you can't really do much with your pc, it can infects even the antivirus, beacuse it is an exe, the only solution was to delete everything and start from zero, why i didn`t save anything?? because every exe could be a possible infected file.
It can also cath passwords and important stuff so watch out when going to lycos.
