Why would anyone put viruses in files?
 

I've downloaded several files that contain worms. I always scan before opening. Why would anyone do that? :mad:

Some people may just be malicious jerks. Then again, file sharing's not popular with certain groups (eg the recording industry)...placing infected files on the network can be a form of sabotage. There's some info here, referring more to placing fake files on the network, but you'll get the idea;)
