Can not play MPEG-1 Layer 3 files
 

Hi all,

the winamp is unable to play my old mp3 files... where as with the new one there is no problem.
when i looked into the file information from the winamp... i came to know the difference between two is MPEG-1 Layer 3 and MPEG-2 Layer 3.
Initially even the Windows media player (Ver 11) was not able to play the old file... but after downloaind a patch from flashcodec for VBR. Media player started playing it well... but winamp is still not able to play thoese file.

Alas, it sounds like you've got the same malware as the people in this thread:

Flash codec is also malware. The original virus requires it so that WMP can play the corrupt mp3 files.

Here is the Hiject this log

Yup. Same virus :-(

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winmfu32 - D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winmfu32.dll

winmfu32 is a trojan downloader

Hay Thanks man.... i could remove the malware.. but i m really surprised that why mcafee was not able to capture this ...

any way i checked the FS-MP3 Fix. but this tool is actually pain to use, isn't there is any Windows based tool to do the same

Sorry, I've no idea. I don't know anything about fs-mp3fix apart from that someone posted it in another thread and said that it can repair the corrupt mp3's.
I don't have the virus and don't have any corrupt mp3's to fix with it.

All I know is that someone made the fix specifically to fix the corruption caused by this virus. I don't know of any other fix.

Hi,

I have the same problem with windows media player as well. I have reintalled xp a couple of times but nothings working. Please HELP !! songs played in itunes sound like a scratched cd - almost like they are being played underwater at varying speeds !!!!

@Devsy29

There's no evidence of the virus in your HJT log.
Did you already get rid of it?

If so, then you've now got to use fs-mp3fix to fix the corrupted mp3's.
See the link in my first reply.
