I dl'ed a torrent today (around 39,000kb) and scanned it Norton INS 2007. The scan didn't find anything, but after dl'ing thru LW, Norton blocked an adware - Zangosearch something. So I would suggest to scan before dl'ing and after dl'ing. I also dl'ed another file and it was successful. But before I could open the .rar file, I had to follow a link (provided in a text doc.) to obtain the password to open the .rar. file. So being curious I did, but it led to a pay site. I quickly delete everything and moved on. I hope some of our more advanced users can give us tips on how to safetly use this service.

STICKY, STICKY, STICKY, Where are you?????
