Re: File sharing with Bittorrent: what possible security threads?

["Razi Shaban" <razishaban () gmail com>]

The problem is that a lot of uploads are purely malicious code, eg. a
"program" that installs a backdoor.

I wouldn't try removing malware, as chances are malware is all you got.

If he's truly devoted to his filesharing he could join a private
tracker, which would be more moderated and have less malicious
content.

Hope that helps,
