Are you running fine then?

I'm running just fine now.

I don't know that, but usually a websearch with 'spyware adware' plus 'whatever is in question' will bring a ton of hits if it is bad.

I don't feel safe on that site now. A computer savvy person would know how to check songs that could be embedded with viruses. I guess I'm too trusting on folks having good intentions. My troubles started after I downloaded it. I have my headphones on listening to my media player - I know that's safe. Sing your heart out George Jones. lol

Excellent.

Can't go wrong with MP3's (.mp3)... they don't 'run' (They are merely read), they have no DRM built in, so they can be transferred between machines, copied, etc... Same with Ogg Vorbis (.ogg). For that matter, I can't recall ever finding a music file with a virus... video files, yes, but not music.

I use Media Monkey for my MP3s, letting WiMP handle all the rest... MM has a neat little ripper in it (for ripping from/to CDs) Anyway, my mp3s are all in a separate folder from the rest of my media files, and the only thing that accesses it is MM. Makes it a whole lot easier to keep a clean library.

Good ol' George Jones... More a Waylon / Toby Keith / Trace Adkins type of fan myself, but George will always do in a pinch :D
