The problem is that a lot of uploads are purely malicious code, eg. a
"program" that installs a backdoor.

I wouldn't try removing malware, as chances are malware is all you got.

If he's truly devoted to his filesharing he could join a private
tracker, which would be more moderated and have less malicious
content.

Hope that helps,

Can you give me more details about techniques how they do it? Is it
 possible to remove this embedded malware? With what tools?
