OK. But remember I don't think getting this stuff out of Googling is a
"mistake". I believe Google is not technically proficient to keep its
engine from directing us to sites of this nature. Sure I understand it is a
"mistke" to follow the links returned by Google with security down but I
also suggest it is their responsibility to contribute to the well-being of
the Internet. That is why I did not crticize the op because the op should
be able to browse the Internet without this contamination of it. Hopefully
all I criticized him for was assuming he got it from WinMX which he did not.
