Very strange QuickTime bug, title bar says "LoL"

[0dev]

I'm playing an AVI video file in QuickTime and I just noticed that the top of the window, instead of saying the file name, says "LoL".

Seems like it could be a virus of some sort, but Macs don't have those, right?

I know about the trojans and I don't give my admin pass to anything dodgy.

Though, when I open QT and hit command+I, it said this:



I think it might just be some metadata in the file. It doesn't show up when I get more info in Finder, though.

Anyway

As long as it's just that file you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, just that file. Probably some silly metadata making me paranoid 😛
