Betty,

re: "If you have "instant" file sharing, wouldn't this be a way for viruses to be spread, too? (I know, it's probably a dumb question, but I'm not a computer geek.)"

I'm not a computer geek either. Are you a Panda geek <g>?

I suppose that that would be a way to spread a virus. On the other hand, I never heard of anyone getting a virus from Napster, and that was (is?) a PC to PC transfer, once the connection was set up through the Napster server.
