SparkyChick,

Ok,as best I can tell the Trojan you downloaded is the same.You posted
Downloader.Wimad.N as the Trojan you downloaded, the full name is "Trojan.Downloader.WMA.Wimad.N"...(please let me know if I understood correctly)

The fact that it did not execute (open your browser to fastmp3player.com)is a very good sign ya

You say there seems to be no harm done to your computer,the Trojan has been deleted and from what I've read about it I feel safe in saying all is well.

Please REMEMBER to do a spyware/virus scan on all files you download before opening them.

Aloha,BCOOL

Hi BCOOL...

WHEW!! Happy to hear that things are most likely okay!! The trojan I downloaded showed up as downloader.wimad.n---I know it didn't have WMA in it, tho, but maybe they are one in the same as you stated. It showed as "high" risk thru my spyware.

You're right about scanning the files before opening...I got lazy and probably a little too trusting after years of having zero problems with Limewire. With anything downloaded you NEVER know what you're gonna get, so ALWAYS play it safe---lesson learned!

Thanks again for your help....most appreciated

SparkyChick
