Steve, going off on a slight tangent here but I would advise against Norton for more reasons than I care to list but the main one being that it is extremely resource hungry and, depending on the package, can cause huge problems just getting the PC to boot if it plays up (the full blown security package modifies the MBR which requires a special disc from Norton in order to make the hard drive usable in anything... I've had 2 clients encounter this and it is a headache to say the least. AVG (Free) is perfectly suitable for my requirements and I have a lot of network traffic from many "unsavoury" sources that can't always be trusted.
However, if in doubt of any download and you don't have AV software run it through Virus Total
I might look at that , have you virus scanned it yet? Any toolbars download with it?
The downloads are either .wav, .mp3 or .zip, if you stick to the mp3 or wav there wont be any chance of toolbars.
As for virus scanning, they are clean
Josh, I am careful with my new ACER because I have not have it set up on my Norton account. My ASUS showed no flags with Nomads link. Steve S
