[QUOTE="Mint, post: 934213, member: 129700"] Sorry to mention P2P song downloading but I have a load of songs on my old laptop (vista) and want to put them onto my iPhone. The problem is that I will be connecting my iPhone to my iMac for software updates etc and might even transfer some songs from my iPhone to my iMac. The songs I have downloaded aren't from the healthiest places so I'm wondering if they could have Mac trojans (I have been told they do exist) or Windows viruses that could affect my iMac in any way at all, even as minor as just simply slowing it down a little. I think I am being a little over-cautious here but is it possible for iPhones to catch anything from dodgy sites and then spread it to the Mac? Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
