That's pretty much what I figured those 'results' to be. Thanks for the explanation (and confirmation of my concerns!). But that hardly explains the total lack of search results for an artist such as "Buddy Holly".

Thanks for those links! I have eliminated .wma (and its similar varieties) from my searches, and I [I]never[I] accept .exe or .zip files (well, at least, not from unsolicited sources, as downloads) ... but the warning is still well taken. Just knowing about some of the malware possibilities is good (for me!), and someone else reading this thread may be a lot more 'at risk' than I am, and benefit even more.  |
