It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out that if you work for a defense contractor you probably shouldn’t put peer-to-peer software on your work computer. Something like this could happen.
Now consider… what do you have on your personal hard drives that shouldn’t be shared? Bank records from Quicken or MS Money? Passwords? Information that would be considered trade secrets by your employer? Data security is data security. We all have things that are important to protect, so use some common sense when you install software.
