So what do you mean by the preview needs to be from 20 secs to 1 minute?

Well I only DL mp3 files(music files) so I think I should be ok

What scanner do you speak of? I know I got a little pop up on Norton Antivirus but I didnt get a chance to read what it said.

i meen wait for preview to dl mabee a minute of the song
ok good NORTON
it probably said some alert in the protection center history
it might give some details

Norton 360 to be exact. Is it THAT good that you had to use caps? :)

Is there any way I can view all my previous messages that it popped up? I really doubt it was telling me about a virus, cause I know sometimes it pops up to remind me of something.


Oh and is Norton THAT good that I could instal a subtle or a minor virus and not be harmed? Not that I would do that but you know those files and users always trick ya. I'm even thinking of uninstalling Limewire because its so scary what some of the things that can happen due to a virus, plus I read up on some things that have happened to users due to viruses. Besides I only needed it to find 2 anime songs anyway

u use norton and swear by it i have NAV 08
i don't know much about 360
sounds like your safe im going w experience with frostwire

Magirific August 19th, 2008 07:24 PM

What is NAV 08 if I may ask? :) And what do you swear by? :O

To be honest in my whole life of computers I have never had any kind of virus that was fatal or anything like that. I would just hate though to get one and am VERY paranoid :).

Oh and could you please answer my new sentence which I added by edit up there in the previous post? ^^ Pasting it now:

Magirific August 19th, 2008 07:51 PM

So you swear by it meaning you trust it completely? :)

I got 2 more questions then I think i'm good to go. And please respond to EVERY sentence in there so I dont have to repeat myself :)

1: Is Norton THAT good that I could install a subtle or a minor virus and not be harmed?

Not that I would do that but you know those files and users always trick ya.

I'm even thinking of uninstalling Limewire because its so scary what some of the things that can happen due to a virus.

Also I read up on some things that have happened to users due to viruses.

Besides I only needed it to find 2 anime songs anyway

2: What anime is the girl from your avatar and sig from?

PS: I spaced the sentences out to make it easier on the eyes.

1 i id NEVER trust it 100% but it works well,
no after i delete suspicious files and kill the system restore points
i never try to let anything back on my computer
just scan EVERYTHING before playing it
TRUST NO ONE or NO FILE
you should be fine

2 thats weda from Hare + Guu from funimation channel
the actress is Wendee Lee
i met few actors and actresses
at a anime convention but not wendee
weda is Hare's Mom

I think I need 2 more questions answered to clear my mind

1: Is it true you cannot get a virus from an mp3 file(the only files i've been downloading FYI) but ONLY if they ask you to download a license(which the virus is most likely in)?

2: Is it true the a virus can only be downloaeded into your computer if the download is at 100%?

cootmaster August 20th, 2008 08:24 AM

1 i downloaded a fake mp3 which was 1000kb which set norton off
frostwire halted the down load i went in the incomplete dumped file and norton cleaned the drive
i dont bother w licence
2 i guess not since norton stopped it 45% done
