Programs maybe... I haven't heard of any MP3 viruses yet. There are also some video formats (.ASF files for instance) that allow embedded URLs that could redirect the viewer to a website containing some malicious scripts.

This is just my advice, but if you wish to download programs from the Gnutella network, you'd probably best install a good anti-virus package first.
