yes it would have to be. My comp detected it via Norton Antivirus so it picked it up str8 after i DL it and opened the .zip file. Mx

This has to be hidden in a program or zip file though right? I hope. I mean you can't put an executable file in an mp3 or mpg, or have they figured out a way to do THAT now?

If you change the extension of any executable file to mp3, it can pass. But I assume that it wouldn't work and would only attempt to play music.

Just don't download any 24Meg files.

very true. The same for any file type. The only thing you will not be able to do once you change the file type is after you change it, it will not allow its self to be apart of a multi part down load. Tell me if i'm wrong.
