Comments on: Poisoned MP4 files threaten Winamp users

Fix won't work?

Maybe I've misunderstood the temporary fix, but it's my impression of Winamp (and any other Windows application) that if you named an mp4 file as an mp3 (or any other filetype that might be associated with Winamp), Winamp would be smart enough to open it regardless.

Could be wrong, but I'd suggest worriers to stop using Winamp altogether until a fix came out!
