Virus On K-lite

That's why you must always check file size, because the more common viruses have very small sizes.

I have to be extra careful, because my Norton program may be secretly in league with the enemy. :helpsmile:

You will not get a virus off of Kazaa Lite unless the file is Executable (i.e. .exe, .bat, .scr, and others no music or video files) and only if you run the file. Anyone who uses the internet should have the common sense to have an up to date virus scan. You can get a clean full iso version of Norton Anti Virus off of bit torrent (it's practically available on every torrent site around) check suprnova.org.

haxor... That bug was not with mp3 files, it was with .wma files. Windows Media Player didn't discriminate between mp3 and wma extensions, you could rename a wma to mp3 and Windows Media Player would play it. WMA can contain 3rd party information (the format makes this possible so artists can include webcontent with their files and so on), the bug exploited this wma format feature, Windows Media Player's horrible coding, and idiots who use wmp to play their mp3's.

nothing to worry about for anyone with half a brain

Tips:
Always use an anti virus
Always keep your software updated

If you don't do either of these, then don't even bother using a computer because YOU ARE AN IDIOT

there are all sorts of trojans, hidden file ext, worms,and backdoor virus threats...media files can also be used ie(some are not what what they seem)...an experienced hacker can loosen security settings,run malious code/scripts,execute and/or damage exe.files,modify registry,and invade your privacy, and use this info and mods to compromize your pc...that is why antivirus software is not enough,you also MUST have a good firewall...i have winxp and it comes with a firewall built-in to the system, but that offers very little protection(it'snot an effective firewall) so i disable it and use a good security system like NIS...

That's because u don't get viruses from songs u get them from programs.

A common misconception - People can put .shs keyloggers into any type of file.

Lots of people spread trojans on Fasttrack, also Norton sucks ass when it comes to detecting trojans, It takes less than 5 minutes to make a trojan undetectable to Norton. Use McAfee and KAV along with a good firewall for protection against trojans. Check filesizes, but this isn't a guarantee since you can bind files together. I used to spread trojans on Fasttrack, lots of people fall for binding the malicious file to a crack. Actually the "How to hack hotmail" file telling you to confuse the bot by sending it to some jackoff's email gets a CRAPLOAD of vics. If you don't get what I'm talking about, just go to K-lite and search for How to hack Hotmail to find tons of stupid bullshiy articles.

I have gotten a virus from a keygenerator. Why was a virus in a keygen? Do you think the manufactuers put it in there or something? My avg on my old machine caught it. Now I have a new pc and I have Norton.
