Answer 3

koko, I am unaware of music that can give you a virus, at least I know that .mp3 files cannot, not sure about all of the different kinds.

McAfee does a decent job with virus' but it is a serious system hog.

I suggest you download and run spybot search & destroy, and run it along side the mcafee you bought. Maybe you need someone to help you use spybot, I don't know how literate you are with this stuff.  go to www.spybot.com and do some reading.

Also, if you find Mcafee is slowing your computer down since you've installed it, you may want to try some better, more efficient virus software such as NOD32 or AVIRA.  Those won't slow down your system like Mcafee does.  Stay away from AVG, some people who don't do much research thinks it's good, but it isn't very effective.

***UPDATE***  Files with the extension .mp3 CANNOT contain virus' but if you don't have windows showing you extensions be careful, you may actually be downloading .exe files and don't even know it.  To turn on extension viewing, go up to my computer, click tools then folder options, go to the view tab and then uncheck "hide extensions for known file types".  Now you can see if a music file you download is actually an .MP3

*update* don't pay any attention to these thumbs down I got, email me if you need help.

Answer 4

Well I hope you learned a lesson, never buy McAfee again, it doesn't work very well.

Please uninstall McAfee and then download a free 30 day functional trial of Kaspersky Anti-virus:

Run a full scan and enjoy your clean computer.

I really suggest that you buy it if you like p2p, and for everyone's information mp3 files can contain viruses.  

Answer 5

mp3 song files can ask you to download a codec, u push agree and you have virus in computer.... so yes downloading songs can infect your computer
