McAfee says there has been a huge spike in malware ridden fake MP3 files lately. While I am sure most of you get your music from legit sources, it'd probably be a good idea to stay on your toes anyway.


On Tuesday, security vendor McAfee reported that it's seen a huge spike in fake MP3 files spreading on peer-to-peer networks. Although the files have names that make them look like audio recordings, they're really Trojan horse programs that try to install a shoddy media player and adware on your computer, said Craig Schmugar, a researcher with McAfee.
