Big problem with built-in recorder - The emulator creates a YoutubeAdBlocke file ?

[Sylveon]

Hello,

I noticed something worrying when I try to use the built-in recorder. Normally, two files would be generated : a video file and a sound file. However, when I try to make that work, I don't get any video file, but a strange YoutubeAdBlocke file...

As far as I know, these files are potentially dangerous. How come the emulator manages to create them ? Is there a way to get rid of them ? Any help is welcome.

Thank you very much and have a good day !

There is no way the emulator created such a file if you downloaded it from our site.

The emulator would never do that, I would guess as Blyss said, you didn't get it from PCSX2.net as you should.

Could be a virus changing the file format of video files on the PC.

Could also be your PC is not recognizing the file format correctly.

Sounds like it would be a hijack file for your browser to cause ads / virus downloads. Assuming you didn't get it from here.

Quote possibly, I would download and run Malwarebytes Antimalware.

Could also be your PC is not recognizing the file format correctly.

^That's probably valid.

Why should a virus hijack the pcsx2 recording tool? Or why should a virus hijack pcsx2 in general?

Well, youtubeadblocke is malware.

On the filename dialog that appears when you start recording, if you do not set an extension for the file, PCSX2 will create a file with no extension. I guess that program (malware?) associated itself with files with no extensions.

Try this: On the dialog where you enter the filename, type C:/bleh.avi and see what happens.
