heh..lots of reasons I guess...

the biggest reason might be a tie between attempts at stealing your identity and wanting to have control of your computer (along with many others) to use to attack others online..

of course mere maliciousness would be a valid concept also...


any file of that size (unless its a picture) should definitely ring alarm bells
