There used to be a bug in windows XP that will allow a malicious person to insert code into an mp3 which windows XP could executes and infect your system. this vulneriblity could be exploited by hackers but i think it's unlikely. If I remember correctly the vulneribility is fixed if you install Service pack 1 or 2.\n\nI think the possibility of contracting a virus is highly unlikely if it's just mp3's on the disk.\n\nThe networks used by most peer to peer software like morpheus, often have malicious files which are shared knowingly by attackers ( and the people who share the files they didn't know were infected), but these are mostly executables and archives.

This is a cd image file!\n\nIt can be opened by a cd-writer software and burned to a cd!\n\nAlternatevly, there are programs that can allow you to see the information in these files by creating a fake cd drive. FantomCD and Alcohol120 would do this.

You ought to set your autorun value to zero on your cd rom... otherwise the computer content of some cd's will... well, autorun and load programs that can crash your computer or affect your computer in very bad ways.\nOne CD manufacturer got into trouble recently with a lawsuit as I understand it as they were installing RootKit Changes on computers... an innocent person pops a cd in their drive just to play it and then POOF they have a corrupted system file that not only affects their drive of their cd burner, but also gives hackers something to work with.\nAlso, don't ever download games, videos or players that come "free" with a cd or dvd... do you really think they are giving you free stuff? \nAt this point you might want to reformat your harddrive and reinstall all your software. And be more careful next time.

Yes there is a way around this. A wonderful program called AnyDVD. It decrypts dvd's, but it also does the same for cd's. I would recommend the whole suite of their prodcuts (anydvd, clone cd, clone dvd). You can check it out at http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html It's bs that artists are doing this now, especially since we'll always find a way around it. Good luck

I use limewire and whenever a corrupt file is being downloaded it pops up a window, it asks if you want to continue to download this file (which of course you say NO) then delete that file completely \nas for downloading iPod songs (I believe those are .mp4 music file/format) you can use a sound editing program to convert those types of files from .mp4 to .mp3 file/format if you are wanting to burn them to regular cd's. \nand it doesn't hurt to scan your music/files/folders for viruses after downloads are complete. it's better to be safe than sorry, right? \nrock on

All of the can happen except the CDs part. I am sure that didn't happen. But yeah, if you get a virus on your computer, or you open something you shouldn't (like an unfamiliar webpage), the person that sent it to you can control your computer. But, it depends on what virus it is. There are all kinds out there. Some that can even get into your bank accounts! Be VERY careful!!!

You really should. This is because harmful viruses and other badstuff can infect your comp. through Limeware.

I downloaded something called Free CD Ripper.  The older versions work better because newer versions pick up the encoding on the CDs.

Well none.Nobody has as many results as Limewire,and limewire doesnt give you the virus the infected file you downloaded does. alot of the others only let you have the songs for 30 to 90 days then they protect them again so you cant play them until you buy them. Limewire doesnt do this BUT you have to be very careful. songs dont usually have viruses but can, programs do quite often , movies sometimes. When you download something from them you need to scan the file w/ your antivirus protection before you open it. they will tell you if you have one before it infects your pc.\nI use norton 2003. it works awsome. just delete the infected file and be done w/ it.\nGood luck!

It only took one time about 3 or 4 years ago I got the I love you virus. It killed my entire MP3 collection. lesson learned.  luckly it was the days of Napster and I just re-downloaded everything I could. And re ripped my CD collection.  I have some of my most precious files uploaded to Yahoo and Hotmail in case my house burns down.
