W32.HLLW.Gotorm is a worm that steals sensitive information from some video games and attempts to spread through the KaZaA file-sharing network.

When W32.HLLW.Gotorm is executed, it displays the fake error message, titled "Win Zip Self-Extractor".

they were talking about screwing up (frying) peoples computes that steal music, After all you are on a network when using the software. I would say yes it could be done.

Just be careful about the REAL file extension... make sure its not assmonkey.mp3.exe or .vbs or .bat or anything that might give an executable a chance to run rampant on your system.
