Greetings,

Why do you think an .exe needs to be converted to an .iso?

Please specify some specifics so that we may try to help you.

In my experience, most software I've downloaded through KaZaa, purely for testing and research ;-)
most of it either doesn't work, or contains some malicious code like a virus, spyware, or a trojan . . .

My advice is be extremely careful with anything you download from P2Pprograms like KaZaa, and make
sure you have some good security software installed like an anti-virus program, and a spyware killer.

Also, remember that downloading software and/or certain other data via P2P apps, is usually illegal, so
if you install anything from KaZaa, do so on a second computer, that is not connected to the internet.

LOL it makes me laughing! :lol:.
But this happened to me too and I've found the solution myself:

:arrow: RENAME THE EXE TO ISO !!!

Perhaps you need a software that can burn ISO files to CD. Why peaople rename these files? I think it's because they know it's ILLEGAL and they wont get catched so they rename them to exe. ISO is almost always used for illegal purposes so they can catch users easily.

I hope this resolves your problem, NO I'M SURE!!! :twisted:

actually the reason it gets changed from .iso to .exe, or even more commonly from .iso to .iso.exe, is because when people search for software on a P2P program such as kazaa, the .exe extension makes sure that it shows up in the search.
