I just tried to download Darlele Love's excellent Christmas song, "All Alone This Christmas," with Limewire, and was surprised when it tried to install a virus on my PC. Normally I'm quite adept at distinguishing the thinl disguised viri from the useful content, but this time the malware designers fooled me. They managed to make the file lok like it had the correct length for a three minute pop song, and they managed to translate my search string "nobody alone christmas" into "Darlene Love - All Alone This Chritsmas." I wonder how they did that, and what I should do (besides the obvious of keeping my AV s/w current) to identify the disguised viruses, when I'm downloading with P2P music.

Limewire apparently uses a search enging similar to google. In which any word in the search string is matched, not just the phrase. so it found a match for "alone christmas". you probably didn't look closely at the listing. When I have done p2p and got plenty of hits, I usually sort the list by artist. So why go to limewire? I found the tune on youtube with no problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdvjI9aUqhY now rip the mp3 and no virus.

You didn't check that did you, it was probably .exe or it was a zip file. And in what way did "They managed to make the file lok like it had the correct length for a three minute pop song" Do you mean the file size? In what way are you "adept at distinguishing" malware, are you a functioning fully updated firewall? And "Alone this Christmas" by Darlele Love is shit.

The audio quality sucks on YouTube. The correct title is All Alone ON Christmas. If you look at www.binsearch.info you would find it in several newsgroups in excellent condition http://www.binsearch.info/?q=all+alone+on+christmas&max=25&adv_age=99&server=
