-- Napster Trap (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=4694)

Warning for all users concerning MP3 useage via Internet. Program called Wrapster grabs any file off a hard drive and loads it to Napster as a MP3 file. Speadsheeets,etc.!!!!


All those Napster-using employees in your company aren't just wasting time
listening to music. They could be exposing corporate systems to a program that
can disguise any files as MP3 files and download them without anybody knowing
it.

I think you are looking for the "Conspiracy Theory" forum, not "General Visor."

Not conspiracy theory, it can be done.
But your correct, this is definetly not the web site to post this at.

I know it can be done, thanks. This was originally posted in the "General Visor" forum--the reason for my post.

Yeah, I posted to wrong area. Expected the Web Site admin to take care of moving to proper location.

I posted the alert since users are downloading the files for use on PDA's. My son is using Napster for music files. Now that we are cable-modem-networked, my firewall allows nothing on the internet to share files on our eqiupment. Probing activity on "always on" internet connections are a serious problem.
