Spy/Adware Warning
 
Just to let members know that a large percentage of downloads are not what you are expecting.
Make your search, then check the file size!!
I've downloaded four files now that take over your computer.
The file name will be what you are looking for but the file size is 399.0KB.
Just check the size of files with the same name FIRST.
Hope I'm Not wrong, But I won't download any 399KB files.

Are you sure it said 399 KB & not 399 MB. There's a difference of 1000 times larger.

Sorry I misunderstood your 1st post. I forgot you were talking about viruses, etc. I use a mac so it doesn't affect me. ;) :)

That's ok. It's just that many users will end up with a lot of unexpected CRAP and most won't know how to get rid of it.

Yea I can back clempp up on the 399 kb file size; it's just started to appear for me on various searches - 399kb = caution
