Since it was downloaded illegally is that really a concern. Or is your computer more important?

I didn't know it was illegal to download the music! I thought it was a good site.
Why do they allow you to download it then?
This doesn't make any sense to me!

[westy]

OK! im going to get rid of it now!
I do have a conscience 
Some of the music is on WMP! will it stay there once i uninstall MP3 rocket?
And can you reccomend a good site for music downloads!(legal)
Do you think this is where the problem is hiding?
I thought i was on to a good thing aswell! Trust me!
I guess you cant get anything for nothing!

You won't loose any music. It's stored on your Hard Drive, not on MP3 Rocket or WMP. I just wanted to make a point

And can you reccomend a good site for music downloads!(legal)

iTunes, Amazon, Napster. You pay a fee for each download which in turn goes to the music companies and artists who own the rights to the music.

Do you think this is where the problem is hiding?

That is very likely the source of the malware.

I guess you cant get anything for nothing!

Very true. Nothing is actually free. Anything that is copyright protected can't legally be downloaded for free. Even if it's a pro version of Limewire or MP3 Rocket. The music company isn't getting paid for their product so in the US and many other countries it's illegal.


It's usually not the software that you have to worry about, BUT there are plenty of untrustworthy file sharing applications out there. It's what you download with it that can easily have extra unwanted baggage. That and badly configured file sharing software can open up your entire computer/network so others can see/steal everything on your PC!

Be sure you know just what you are doing before hand, and the potential dangers involved in P2P/File Sharing.
