there's some malware/adware that try to use .ASX files as vector
to infect windows machines by forcing users to download and install
executables.
The trick (not an exploit!!!!) is to convince people that Windows Media
Player
needs an additional codec....so that users confirm the download of an EXE
file.

The EXE file downloaded is probably some Download.Trojan or Trojan.Clicker
packed with Nullsoft NSIS.

It was classified as "Trojan-Clicker.Win32.Bomka.a"
