File-sharing programs carry Trojan horse

The amazing thing about this is how ignorant people are to the whole file-sharing model, and how it is insecure by it’s very nature, let alone the spyware added into it. Think about it, how is a program that allows people to access your machine, and you to access theirs, not a security risk? You’re giving away access to parts of your machine to anonymous strangers, and accepting files from them to run on the same machine that you store your private financial details, without bothering to learn about anti-virus or firewall protection, real smart.
