Sorry to to disappoint you VIPER, viruses, and its been proven, cannot be in any files that aren't executable !

MUSIC, VIDEO, TEXT, DOCS, PDFs and basically all those things cannot have viruses !

EMBEDDING for once cannot be used to start up a virus !
and, in your CACHE, it is downloaded, but it is useless ! the only thing that can start up a virus are EXECUTABLES, and like i said, EXECUTABLE PROGRAMS cannot be hidden on things that are not meant to be PROGRAMS ! which cancels all the things you metnionned !

those holes do happens, but they are in WINDOWS itself, and in your SOFTWARE, that's why they say its good to UPDATE with what we call CRITICAL SECURITY HOLES !

but again, there is no way for any programmers out there to make a MP3 file to be a PROGRAM itself, this cannot be !

example:
you fuse your virus into an MP3... yes it is possible, but once ont he person's computer, playing it will result in an ERROR at LOADING time which will stop the process right away, without any codes to actually be EXECUTED !

which means no infection !
so like i said, nothing, really nothing taken from internet can be runned on your machine without your consent ! the embed thing, it didn't work on me at all... why, because i was using EXPLORER which can only take the BGSOUND thing, it cannot use EMBED, but even tho you used it, netscape user wouldn't have gotten any virus by it. you can't play a music which is in fact a program, the above error will happen and it will stop !

look around the net and see for yourself, how many MUSIC file or TXT files can be virus, you'll see none, so tell yourself that if it was possible, it would have hapenned a lot of times, whch it never did !

again, only EXECUTABLE FILES can be a virus !
