Limewire (or any download site, whether mp3, music, videos)
Newsgroups
Grapevine
E.Mail
Unsafe Websites (the obvious)
IRC
Chat sites
To name a few. And chat sites are probably one of the primary places that this sort of activity takes place. The sad part to that is, 80% are not even
aware of it.

I disagree with you Jayd, I am happy with real time protection from AVG and a scan of my PC using Ewido's online feature every couple of weeks. You can't get Virus' from media files so if you only download music etc then you have nothing to worrie about. The bulk of Trojans are files posing as keygen's and cracks etc for illegal software found on P2P an torrent sites. As for someone directly hacking your PC then.....well 
it's not going to happen, maybe at worst you will take part in a DOS attack as a zombie computer but with AVG kept upto date and running from boot why be so paranoid?
BTW jayd, you asked for people to play critic and then argue and tell them they are wrong or call them kiddo, dosent that sound stupid?

Some of the very few, but most commonly used are:
• <anything>.com
• <anything>.exe
• <anything>.txt.vbs
There are no reasons whatsoever for the user to use any of these formats, unless their main priority is to infect the receivers computer. Period.
I can also assure you there is no reason a file should have a double extension. But that does'nt stop (ignorant) people falling victim who have no idea how to tell if a file has a double extension or not.
Whether you click a link in an e.mail, or click a link on a site, as simple as that.
And after the Trojan installs itself on your computer, it will then simply send a message from your computer to the hacker telling him the following information.
Username: (A name they call you)
IP Address: (Your IP address)
Online: (Your victim is online)
And it doesn’t matter if you are on dial up. The 'potential hacker' will automatically be notified when you log on to your computer. With that information, it is not a task to gain access to ones comp with a few clicks.
Oh, and critique with a respectful manner, or not at all.
• <anything>.com
• <anything>.exe
• <anything>.txt.vbs

For some kid who was infected with all this maleware/spyware/viruses, now you say you can hack? HAHA? Im sorry but a true hacker knows how to use the net.
Ever hear of a deepthroat trojan?
How about BackDoor?

What is a Sub Seven Trojan and what can a 'hacker' access of mine if used?
