CD Viruses.

[Blink182]

Anyone thought if they infected a music file with a virus, burnt it to CD, wacked it into a CD Player (one other than a computer) that the music would br all funny and it would stuff the cd player?

The virus would get so dizzy it wouldn't know what to do.





In reality the cd player wouldn't recognize the file type so would do nothing.

 

[Blink182]

true. But yes the CD Player will because you have burnt the disc with a cd burning program. It would be funny if the cd player blew up!!!!

A CD player could not process a computer virus. A player is a player. No OS to infect at all.

Exactly, the very, very worst you could do would be to make a CD that no CD player could read. There is nothing to infect in a CD player.

Obviously you two never had a mother who had both Barry Manilow's and Johnny Mathis's Box Sets.

Speaking of viruses ... I hope you get one that affects your ability to type.

SOON.

A true Audio CD can't really contain a virus AFAIK. If its an MP3 CD, it could have files that exploit vulnerabilities in Windows Media Player, etc., but it couldn't actually contain an executable file with a virus.
