Hi Hocuspokus
Ok. we will leave them be.
Advisory -
UtorrentAs long as you are using
any form of
Peer-to-Peer networking and
downloading files from
non-documented sources, you can expect
infestations of malware to occur.
Once upon a time, P2P file sharing was fairly safe. This is no longer true. P2P programs form a direct conduit inside your computer, their security measures are easily circumvented, and malware writers are increasingly exploiting them to spread their wares on to your computer. If your P2P program is not configured correctly, your computer may also be sharing more files than you realize. There have been cases where people's passwords, address books and other personal, private, and financial details have been exposed to a file sharing network by a badly configured program.
Please read these short reports on the dangers of peer-2-peer programs and file sharing.
