1.	Solve : Mp3's, Avi's Etc?
Answer» Helllo chappys, Ok well got a video off the internet the other DAY and well, tbh as soon as i opened it it said the one or more CODES are needed to play this letter, fair enough i thought to my self. So i deleated it, but ever since i opened it strange things started to happen, although my scanner pict up NOTHING. So obviously it was a coinsidence. But it got me thinking is it possible to get viruses or spyware and all that rubbish with Mp3's and Videos? Just a question. C}{r1$its not related buddy dont worry. R0SS Quote But it got me thinking is it possible to get viruses or spyware and all that rubbish with Mp3's and Videos? Yes, FILE extensions can be hidden so what you see as file.xyz could in fact be file.xyz.exe.That's why I turn off "Hide extensions for known files". Extra security and the ability to finally create the .dilbert extension! Ahhhh ok thanks guys, much appreciated. Because once i downlaoded a song and it said something along the lines of "the file you are trying to play has a different extension then the one shown, runnig this file could cause SYSTEM instability" something like that anyway, so just deleated it. Ok thanks again guys.If you have all codec supported it shouldnt be a problem
