    Question Viruses in Pirated Windows CD

    For as long as i could remember I've been using p2p programs to download my windows CDs and install windows. I have a legit key, but i just lost my CD.

    I was wondering; Is it possible for The original source of that CD to have put his or her own little viruses in the windows files?
    Is this a concern for anyone else?

    Because anyone with half an ounce of common sense virus scans downloaded files before using them.
