Questions and comments
Questions and comments Hallo: Yes, you can, but only if you act careless. To explain a little bit: A virus or a worm needs to executed to propagate; executed like a program. So: Very unsafe: - any .exe or .com files, for they are programs which could be infected. - .vbs script files; these are programs also. - .bat files (rare) These files could also be zipped, unzipping is safe, but have ALWAYS a look what will come out of an archive! Unsafe: Any html-code with embedded javascript (mentioned only for completeness) .doc .xls files for M$-Office; they could carry a macro virus. Safe are: - Any files which are not executed but interpreted by some other program like: .mp3 .mpeg .avi .gif .jpg etc etc etc.... Remember that is never bad to have some kind of virus scanner and to USE it sometimes! And, remember also, that a firewall will not protect you against infected files. But do not be disappointed, with a very little bit of caution you are on the happy side; the dangers are little and the enjoyment is great! Happy gnutelling :-) Greetings....
