We recently had news that Briton is trying hard to keep illegal file transfer banned and to stop this illegal activity. They recently had contacted 6 giant ISPs and told them to send warning to its customers using P2P file sharing services. Similar move is expected to be seen in countries like France, NZ, Australia and Denmark. US has already way ahead in sopping illegal file sharing activity on Internet.
Not only the legal problems, but sometime it is better to stay in discipline for personal interest is also advicable. As numbers of viruses and worms are increasing day by day, hackers are also tryng to get into the other’s computer and using multiple techniques for it.
Kaspersky Lab has recently revealed that P2P files are the major source of harmful viruses and trojans and they have recently discovered new WORM in the P2P files. Also this Worm specifically use music files and get installed in the PC and than try to find all MP3 files and code them into ASF file which ultimately holds other informations like website links and download URLS.
