I am concerned about p2p sharing when downloading music does this mean other users can look in to my files?

Answer 1

most p2p sharing programs restrict file being shared to some location on your computer. generally the same place you download your files, but some have a search feature which looks for media to be shared, with your consent. look into the menu, there should be an option for sharing files.

Answer 2

Usually only the folder you select through the p2p to share like your music folder.

You can be hacked if the program/site you are using does not provide enough security. Unless you have super important docs like finances i wouldn't worry about it. Don't just download anything either... you don't want to get a virus or whatever.

Answer 3

all p2p programs can give you a virus if your unlucky or dont have good protection.
