[QUOTE="Ian_C, post: 397517, member: 6115"] Hey Andy, I agree you can disguise a virus as any file, but as you mention, wouldn't that change the extension? I have always believed if you download a file and it has the extension .mp3, it will be virus free, as the virus will change it to something else (usually .exe)? I'm honestly curious. Been downloading music many years, and never had a problem with a music file with the proper extension. I don't want to believe that's a result of pure dumb luck. :shock: Stuart, I'm not even sure Limewire exists any more. They were bad for viruses, but at that time, it was them or bearshare once Napster went down. Man, the old days, eh? [/QUOTE]
