I'm vary wary of running app/.exes i find on the web
Never really worried about downloading files such as .mp3s, jpgs etc....

I was on bearshare tonight and downloaded some smut/girls gone wild .mpg (yes, shame on me) When i double clicked to play it - IE launched and brought up a few pages...
I HATE POPs.... Anyways, i didn't think that the mpg file format allowed for such
access to my system?

(i have the bearshare pro version (ie you have to pay for it) that is suppose
to be ad/spyware free... and has so far as i can tell... so it has to be the mpg file
thats doing it...

Any dangers in picking up stray mpegs?
How would you go about removing this code from the file??
