    Heh, was just gonna say that. It won't delete your legal mp3's as long as you don't d/l from p2p services. Yet another reason to stay clear of them.

    If this is the same worm I read about the other day, it masquerades as some DVD copying software. Since I use DVD Shirnk I reckon I'm safe.

    Or you can just use a decent antivirus, firewall and router and NOT download dodgy pr0n, .pif files or 'flash games' from your mates on MSN

    p.s. ogg vorbis rules but WTF haven't they updated the 'official' codec since 2002!?
