Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón:

Spying, programs modifications. I have seen already unexplainable weird
things - one text file was in size - zero - that never has been so for
a long time, another, .ods - was partially damaged...

So, what should I do for the distro install cds - regarding both -
spyware and viruses?
If we speak about checksumming - sometimes it fails though I believe
the problem lays in not accurate or whatever downloading, the images
being - I believe - unmodified... - Redownloading is hard because of
bandwith.

I guess it does not fit distro cd scanning right?
