File Sharing
File Sharing also referred to as Peer-to-Peer Networks, is a series of networks established to allow the sharing of files and communication without a website. These networks can expose your computer to worms and viruses. Some worms have been specifically written to target peer-to-peer networks. These worms and viruses can download your private information without your knowledge. Peer-to-peer networks also have been used to share copyrighted music, software, and games without authorization. Children often are exposed to pornography on peer-to-peer networks when sexual predators intentionally mislabel the names of files for this purpose.
