Hi all,
I was testing an MPx player for a friend of mine.
It's a Sigmatel board player, Nano clone.
Full details, firwmare etc... will be posted soon.
However, I've just discovered something VERY interesting and would like to warn you all and see if you have this on your player.
Here's what I did:
1. DISABLE autorun on my computer (I disable it all the time). You can do this with a registry hack. Have a look here:

2. Plug the MPx player through the USB cable into my computer.
3. After auto detecting it, go the drive of your MPx player (usually labelled "Removable Disk").
4. Make sure you have "
Show hidden files and folders" ticked in Windows Explorer. You can do this by click on [Tools] then [Folder Options] from Windows Explorer. Click on the [View] tab at the top. Scroll down to where you see "Show hidden files and folders" and put a tick in there.
5. Once enabled, you will now see a folder called "RECYCLER". This usually points to your "Recycle Bin".
6. Right mouse click on the "
autorun.inf" and choose "
Open With" and
NOT "Open" as you don't want to execute it.
7. Once open, my autorun.inf file looks like this:
Now, if you look closely at the commands on the autorun.inf, it's instructing Windows to execute "
autorun.exe" if you have autorun enabled. Unfortunately, I didn't have that file in the "RECYCLER" on the drive of the MPx player so I couldn't scan it for possible viruses/spyware/adware etc...
But that looks very suspcious if you ask me.....
If you all have time, try the steps I did and see if you have that on your player.
Would be interested to know.
