fine than it'll be a bigger problem latter. I just thought we should keep this network clean

Unless the laws of physics dictate otherwise.

Ive heard about this spyware problem and yes it can happen. Hell you can even get virus from pictures. But im pretty sure you get this spyware from going to the right site not downloading the music. Although, if the music was the problem you could tell by the file size.

see i knew i was right
though I'm srr for losing it I don't like it when everyone turns against me and I don't want to scare the crap out of people either i would just like to worn them. if everyone fallows this rule : don't mix legal with illegal, and try to whatch out for corrupt files(this realy agravates me cause 60% of all files i download are corrupt)
anyways people don't panic just be carefull if you are it's totally safe

How should this work?

Yes you are right, you are a stupid idiot poster...

Again its not possible to combine a .exe file and a MP3, doesn´t matter what Disconnecting said.

Morgwen

so I'm a poster
and I know it doesn't matter to you, but it's true... anyways I was just warning people. and trying to give them tips on hoe not to get found you don't have to believe me or disconnecting, or any of the stuff that I say, but in the end we'll find out who isd right (BTW I'm not suggesting that I'm right)

morgwen I'm not trying to prove a point here ecxept that it is possible to get 2 file types in one. a long time ago my computer crached because of a virus on a pic that I downlaoded. luckily it didn't attack my ghost so I was abble to restor. so well i guess it's possible to have a file that shares 2 file types.

Which files type was this pic? Perhaps this pic was in an attachment or within a zip/rar archive. I tried to explain you why you can´t get a virus through a MP3 or a pic. A virus must be activated, you can execute it directly this is an .exe file or through other software which executes files (like an attachment). Media players and pic viewers don´t execute files they just decode the known formats and show it to the user, if a file format isn´t readable (like a .exe) you will get an error message, so again its not possible to get a virus through a MP3 or a pic (jpeg, .gif etc.).

If you don´t believe me search the web for information, perhaps there is a technique which I don´t know, to proofe your point. As long you just write such bullshit and accuse companies without proofes I will call you an idiot.

Warning people is good but NOT WITHOUT PROOFES, this is not a "I need attention" forum. This forum is for information which are investigated, so the next time when you try to scare the people without a proof I will delete the post!

No. The best programmer can´t change some rules. The links Kath posted show only that there is a problem with jped files, so the programmer discovered a security hole. But I have to repeat I never read or saw anything about a MP3 virus, actually the genius who can bend the rules don´t exists. About the pics i am also sure that all other formats are still save and that the jpeg format will be reworked.

Morgwen

Good link, thanks Kath.

They are talking here about an attachement, I mentioned that this can happen.
