<grin>
thats fine.
Well at least winamp runs right mostly after update.
I have had situations where I had to reformat after update because windows
decided not to run so be lucky.
While I aggree with you to take the media with a grain of salt at best, I think
in this case that you got this stuff last week because last week was when there
was a threat to be delivered and triggered every 3rd day of every month.
There was also something on mobil phone viruses.
So the only security for users is if you can, backup your mobile phone contacts
and files on your pc and well hope you don't get bitten.
