Can computer viruses coming in from the internet affect other executables?
« on: October 02, 2007, 03:25:40 AM »
I gave a person a Skype executable.  He now accuses me of having given him a virus infected Skype executable.  Is it possible that he picked up a virus via the Internet which then infected his Skype executable?

It's possible that you did indeed give him an infected file.  It's also possible that it became infected after he downloaded it.  What makes him so certain that it's infected?
