I've been looking for windows xp on kazaa lite, yet all the downloadable programs seem have .exe extensions and not isos. Anyone know what's up with that? Trying to avoid getting a virus and can't understand why people would post as a .exe file unless there was some type of virus included.

Regards,

Scott

Sometimes the disc images get an extension of .exe put on them, so if you rename it, it works. Check the verifieds to be certain, though.

*.exe is just a short term for Executable and *.iso meaning well I would think from the copy <_<
