Dear Trekkie

The reason why most users, including myself, recommend only Ad-Aware, Spybot and now MS Antispyware is simply because they are the only products that actually find spyware on your PC and will not (in 99.9% of the time) give you false positives or infect your PC with its own embedded spyware.

Most of the other so-called anti-spyware products are clones (knock-offs) of either Ad-Aware or Spybot and contain their own spyware. And most of us have either had bitter experience ourselves of using these knock-offs or have friends who have used them.

Just a quick word of advice, before you try anything either bought or downloaded from the internet please do some research.

can someone explian why limewire users are putting different name tags on movies

don,t think i,ll be bothering downloading any wmv/wma files,i,ll stick with what i know for now,at least till i know what im doing.

good point any wma, wmv file w/ only 104. kb or so is trouble crap waiting to happen
especially when sites get you to try to open these filez and a window pops up and your prompted to activate it of dl a security with i think is asking for crappolla

some times even mov files are in this catagory

i see too that the names a re labled in weird ways like

t_h_i_s_i_s_c_r_a_p

spaced out is a sign of crappatoa.

Hi all,

I downloaded what I thouhgt was what I wanted. but when I tried unziped it i couldn't so I shelled out to dos and used an old but good archive program ace to peek inside. I found that I downloaded a wma file. I am wondering if is the file that I want... it is close to 50 mb so the size match the original . I scanned it using AVG it found nothing. If is the program that I want how can I unpack the files?

I have seen that you can change wmv format to MPEG or AVI.
I Googled it and the Main one it came up with is www.tomdownload.com/multimedia_design/ video/avi_wmv_mpeg_converter.htm -
Would this ruin any viruses if you did it,Also would a License still be required

The larger question is how to filter your searchs so that .WMV files don't appear.
