P2p malware questions

On this link read malicious uses of p2p. I know we all know p2p has viruses. But one in particular is where you download a file and its embedded with malware and it changes your shared directory to your hard drive. So now your hard drive is available for browsing and downloading on that said p2p network. I have noted a few articles from tiversa stating the same thing. But they also say all p2p shares your hard drive by default. So their word wasn't ever reliable. I noticed that article I linked was in 2003? So I'm assuming if this existed then it sure don't know. As anyone heard of or seen this. Does it still exist? You would think there are better ways than sharing your personal info for everyone to download.

It's very possible. I used to run uTorrent in VMware, but not so much anymore. I just use my VPN and Peerblock with several country blocks like China, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, etc.
