Badware update through P2P?

IIRC some virii or trojan horses tried to fetch updates from web pages, usually on free hosting services. And as soon as they are detected, the web account is closed and the dangerous files removed, so this does not look like a very efficient chanel. What would happen if such a nasty piece of code used some P2P protocol to update itself? e.g. Gnutella or eDonkey? Has anybody seen such a "feature"? ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo! Mail : http://fr.mail.yahoo.com
