    Hi,

    I want to know if:

    1. The files what I receive from Microsoft when I make an update for my Windows (operating system) can be infected by Internet Provider server.

    2. The updated files what I receive from AVG when I make an update for my Anti-Virus software ( AVG 8.0 Free ) can be infected by Internet Provider server. ( the server what is giving me the internet connection )

    3. When I download an *.exe file from let's say download.com... That *.exe file can be infected by my Internet Provider server?

     

    Ok, Thank You...

    Hi,

    All your connections come and go thru the ISP gateway so theoretically they could modify the packets. I doubt that they can modify Ms updates packages though.

    Why are you asking these questions?
