I would be very interested in knowing how such a virus would get the system to
execute it's code so that it could "do its thing". To my miind, such "virus code" would only be Played through Winamp and, therefore, never have a chance to infect the system. What I'm saying (trying to be nice) is that only files containing
executable code can carry a virus. (Yes "macros", "VBscript" files, and even Java classes are executable. But, mp3s and jpgs are not!)
