Hi, thanks for taking time to reply. The windows logos only appeared the other day and are next to every song, before that, all songs played ok and everything downloaded ok. I will press yes and see what happens.
I have also noticed that every song is now an Exe (type) and they are all now the same size 408.0KB., which before they were all different lenghts.
All very confusing.
Update; i said yes to the download question and it seems to have worked ok!!
Loks like i may have to delete my whole libary and start again, which is gonna be a pain.

I reckon it sounds like you're infected. A few people have had this happen lately...there's probably a new virus on the loose.
File types should not change. LW does not change file types. Are you scanning files with your AV before you open them?

Scan your computer with a good, updated AV. It wouldn't hurt to scan for spy/adware as well. There are links to programs within the thread below.

If your scans don't find a virus/trojan/worm etc, I'd suggest you go to a help site for this. You may need to post a HijackThis log & we can't read those. See point 5 here for links

Or try one of these
