I don't understand how to equate P2P with malware. Maybe I am missing something.

Some P2Ps contain penagatewares but tell you they don't.

Not that I'd know.

It's like saying driving a car through a forest is risky because you might hit a tree.

It's like saying that you shouldn't stab yourself in the stomach because you might get your clothes dirty.

Well you should use your gut feeling and not take stabs in the dark.
