Malware Question

[Cypher]

Am I correct in assuming that malware can only infect EXEcutables?

 

[johnb35]

Nope, malware can infect almost any file in your system.

 

[Cypher]

Even video and audio files?

 

[johnb35]

Its not common but yes it can happen.

Thanx. It ain't gonna keep me from downloading video torrents tho.


Is it ok to mention the "T-word" 'round here?

Understood. However, in my defense, I didn't say how to or where to go.
