MUSIC SOFTWARE AND VIRUSES

I'm sure you guys pretty much have an idea of what software is and why it is so useful in this day in age. I have elaborated mostly on its definition because I knew that most of you guys would not have even the vague idea of what it is.

I have indeed informed you guys of probably the most prominent software for phones that is able to download music on your mobile. But life doesn't just end there peeps, there are other software programmes that are able to help you download music, not only on phones, but also on your Ipod, MP3 and MP4 player (which is the latest adaptation from the MP3, it is able to play music and videos).

Since music has such a major influence on the world (literally), I believe people will always try and invent ways to access it, ways that will make it easier to download music on almost every kind of gadget. Recently I visited a website (http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/) that avails a large variety of music software.

Alot of software nowadays also comes with many risks. One may be enticed by the variety of softwares varied to them, but this sometimes has a negative effect on the gadget or type of mobile phone they are using. 'Viruses' are now a big effect in the New Media. One might install a software programme on their gadget but because we sometimes share the software, viruses can be passed on from one source to the other. Music songs on their own may have viruses and therefore when one passes the song to the next, the process is tampered with. Not only does this happen between gadgets and mobile phones, but it is a very common case in computers aswel. Computers are very sensitive towards viruses and therefore external material can easily affect them. For instance, this one time my computer contracted a virus so I took it to the nearest computer shop, after they had fixed it, I asked them what could have caused it to contract the virus in the first place; they told me that MP3s and Compact Discs are sometimes the influence of viruses in most cases. And indeed, I had been using alot of MP3s and CDs on my computer and I do believe that this is the reason why my computer contracted the virus. Can you believe it people, mobile phones now also contain the risk of contracting a virus from other external sources. Apparently exchanging music through bluetooth can cause the phone to contract a virus. The virus could allegedly be caught through the bluetoothing of songs. Indeed, software can be really hectic when it comes to its dangers.

So even though most of us would probably love to access our favourite types of music at any time and at any place on any source of material, this comes with the risk of contracting a virus, but the upside is, the virus is not one that is chronic, it can easily be cleaned out or even prevented from tampering with the system through what is referred to as an 'Anti-virus'; now wouldn't that be useful for preventing other things such as 'piracy' huh?
