Default Link Spam

I have noticed a lot of "link spam" showing up. For example. The file does not download but rather redirects you to this site.

http://www.artistdirect.com

I have clicked through about 10 other songs on this particular search and it turns out there are more with links than with songs yet they are well disguised to look like a mp3 file. Is there anything that can be done about this? This is actually a link to get you to go to mps.com which is nothing more than an attempt to get you onto mp3.com which if you have ever used it, will install lop.com on your computer, one of the most insidious and evil malware programs ever devised.

Thanks

Updating to the latest version of LW has fixed the redirection problem for most people

Please don't mention downloading of specific files... discussing copyright infringement's against the Forum Rules
Could you edit out the artist & album please?

Well.. that's good news except that means I get to spend more money since I have paid for the pro version and downloading a revision takes me back to the free and requires yet another purchase to regain what I previously had. I don't use it so much that I like that idea one bit.

revdarkwing,

You don't have to pay again. Just get the Basic(Free) version. It's a good program and if your not using it much anyway you probably won't notice a difference.
