Malware from P2P Downloads

March 19, 2008

malware.jpgOne of the problems associated with the illegal file-sharing off P2P sites, is that they also become the method by which malware and other malicious code spread which can be a major problem if say all your files get corrupted by a virus you get off a file you took from a P2P site. It has been said again and again; the real licensed stuff is assured to be free of such malware and should be a lesson which I am sure many have learned the hard way. Another problem is the many hackers who are sure to be part of the millions of P2P users out on the net who are after more than your music files but even your other confidential files as well. When one signs up to a P2P service, one agrees to make their hard disks or parts of it available to others on the net who might have an interest for files you want to share with others. The more you share, the more you get for they work as a way of establishing your niche as a preferred customer/supplier of sorts. If one get’s caught in the process of sharing, fines and jail time are stiff yet the corners of the world who have weak enforcement and internet policing are still major breeding grounds for such illegal file sharing.
If have not yet fallen victim to malware from illegal file sharing, then heed the warning. It is not easy to recover files or documents lost to malware so take them off. If you do want to share music, try to resist the use of P2P sites for they might be easy and free yet you are impacting the lives of millions upon millions of people all over the world who make their living off their work. Buy legal and support legal.
