Dear Hughes

For example, according to new research conducted by Hughes, 45% of the free files
collected via KaZaA, the most popular program for downloading free files and music, were
viruses, Trojan horse programs and backdoors.

wp_2004Virus.pdf:
According to new research, fully 45% of the free files collected via KaZaA, the mos
popular program for downloading free files and music, contained virus, Trojan horse
programas, or backdoors.


Exists documentation of the research?
Can you comment something to me on the used methodology?

Best regards,
