Recieved a strange app named "Memz"

[Greenlink74]

I recieved an app named Memz in an E-Mail, it looks like an MLG joke as the app thumbnail, should I launch

[piemadd]

much info

[iamdarkyoshi]

I would highly suggest not doing it if its this:

 

 

Do it in a VM

[SCHISCHKA]

the joke is on you, never run a program received via email. gmail & MS forefront blocks executables for a reason

all EXE's are harmless in Windows 10. I had to post this from my laptop because that MEMZ application trashed my PC

It trashed my PC, but instead of the Nyan Cat, it says "GRAND DEAD, Thanks for the awesome streams Joel!"

Memz is indeed a dank MLG 420 whatever virus that is annoying AF.

 

Don't touch it, there are different versions of it floating around and some of them contain some awful payloads you don't want to even know about...

why do you think all executables are harmless? they are anything but harmless

.exe's are far from harmless in Windows 10 lmfao

 

The only way a Windows OS won't be bothered by a .exe is if it's an ARM version.

Well, there goes your MBR...

You might be able to recover everything tho, i would however declare every storage medium connected to your hard drive infected and only connect it to linux systems, afaik it doesn't work on that.

If I put my HD contents on a different PC, it'll be safe, even if MEMZ attatches itself to each EXE, BAT, and .COM file

The thing is, you can't know for sure if it's the legit VineMEMZ unless you figure out all the payloads.

It's perfectly possible someone added a keylogger or whatever

 

Again, be safe, treat everything as infected and only connect the drives to a linux system if you want to make a backup. Or just go for gold and format all the drives...

"Should I open a piece of unknown software?"

 

Short answer: No.

 

Long answer: Never.

Only run them if they are something like freemusic.mp3.exe or porn.mp4.exe

 

Those ones are perfectly safe.

You seem slightly uneducated. 

No offence. But you did click the random exe sent in an email to you...

This is not even close to true.  For the health of all PCs everywhere, please don't believe this and never tell anyone this again
