best antivirus is no entering "girls near you want to meet you" sites
now, srly
a good way to avoid this is using ANY AV
why? because any antivirus will at least detect an incoming downloaded virus
ofc we all have different tastes, I like KIS over any other, some say avira, others ESET, etc
the point is that a simple free AV can do the work of at least warn you

You can put a virus in any file, even a text file. Hell, they even exploited the PSP a few years ago with an edited TIFF (a file format).

The most important thing isn't what file type you use as a container for your virus, but how you accomplish to execute it. In an executable file, it's easy of course, Windows just loads your virus and it runs it. However, for something like the the TIFF exploit on the PSP, you have to depend on a faulty implementation of the parser of the file format.

The same goes for PK2, it's possible the client contains a bug that makes it possible to load viruses from a PK2 file. However, you can't be sure about. Most times, you won't be that lucky. You can of course bypass this by editing the client's PK2 parser to load a virus from your PK2 file.

AVG is the solution try it then post results
