How a Virus can infect an MP3 audio File.

How a Virus can infect an MP3 audio File.

NOTE:: THIS ARTICLE I HAVE WRITTEN IS MEANT TO PREVENT VIRUS INFECTION. AND NOT TO PROMOTE IT.

.mp3 audiofiles - mpeg layer 3 compressed audio and mp3pro files are digitalaudio datafiles that cannot be infected by a virus because the virus if it embeds itself in it will not execute in the microprocessor. Thus the mechanics of infecting an mp3 file can be by steganographically encrypting 99% of the virus into the datafile and finding a sector on the disk 512K that will be resident in memory, the mp3 files and all datafiles are linked to this sector. This is like the dir-2 dos 16bit virus.
