    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.

    According to new research, fully 45% of the free files collected via KaZaA, the mos

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