You don't get viruses from porn OR mp3s. You can't get a virus from a movie or a music file. It's real easy to just *not* download executable files. That's where your viruses come from. Those and word files and stuff, but if you keep auto macro use and things like that off, you won't have a problem.

I have never had any problems with kazaa using that theory ;) .exe's are something you d/l from reliable sources.

Exactly, I haven't had a virus in a VERY LONG time.
