This is for those who like to download music, etc.

Your computer can be compromised and lead to identity theft if you have any personal info on there. Here's the article:

Boback explained that criminals use P2P networks to search an individual's computer and download information to commit fraud or identity theft. It happens during the setup.

Depending on which options you choose, all your files could be available to everyone on the shared network and once someone gets access to your personal files that information could end up anywhere around the world in anyone's hands.

It's a dangerous game that Boback said he sees all the time.

“Over a two-day period we found over 200 classified highly classified documents available to the public on P2P networks. One of the documents found was the secret backbone network of the infrastructure for the Pentagon,” Boback said.
