WHERE CAN I GET A MOVIE (AVI, DIVX, ETC...)

[Nimrod229]

i just got rid of kazaa becuase it causes a lot of viruses, it was a great p2p application but i dont want the viruses, thats where i got a lot of my movies, i am wondering what are some good p2p file sharing programs are, so if you could please help me out and give me some good ones i can get and where i can get them.

Um, Kazaa doesn't cause viruses... It's what you download. Any p2p program will have viruses floating around them. People are D***S, it's the nature of the beast. Newsgroups and IRC are your alternatives besides p2p programs.

I've never seen a virus that could embed itself onto mpeg or any other video format

There can be virus's (sort of) in video files and in MP3s. If you check Microsoft's website you'll see that they had to fix a few security holes in media player that would allow a user to gain access to your machine using malicious code that was embedded in a video file. WinAmp did the same a while back.

All correct ... but : there were never records of that mp3 exploit being used. Also altough mp3 and mpg are similar that doesn't mean they have the same exploit capabilities.

And take into account that "malicious code" doesn't mean virii. a virus, a trojan or whatever you wanna call it is a program wich means its written in perl, c++, vbasic or anyother language. It's supossed to have a replication capability etc.

The exploit you mentioned allowed for someone to force the computer to execute a certain program. For example: An mp3 file with a command line like "C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows" would force any windows below XP to shutdown. this could be used to execute a virus in the computer, but only if it was already there. The same applies to jpg files that can also have this sort of malicious code. I think that as already been fixed.
