Hey Ursula

Thks for the info and the nice links.

I run Adaware Plus / Spybot S&D / Spyware Blaster / X-Cleaner / Trojan Hunter & Norton Internet Security, so I think I have it covered mostly. I'll check out PeerGuardian as well! :-)

Nothing like a bit of paranoia when it comes to this sort of thing!

Naturally I realized that those wma files etc were dodgy and couldn't be the actual files I was after - it just hadn't dawned on me that some scumbags would go to all the trouble of taking your search string and renaming their bad files.

The file I downloaded was over 5MB and looked like it could be what I was looking for. I suppose this sort of deception might work on someone who is clueless, but I quickly realized it was a menace and my security precautions cleaned it up quicksmart.

Cheers
Martin
