14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I'm using a router, but I don't know what you mean by set up. Ummmm.. the normal way?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? AVG 8.5.. The free one.
16. What country are you living in? US of A

I thought you might want that info again, so I posted it.

Ok.. I got one of them there 5,611 kb files when I was d/l some music. About 3 songs later, I noticed that LW was telling me that I'd downloaded that file already even though I'd just looked it up. I assumed virus, so I stopped what I was doing and ran my Virus Scanner on the folder. It didn't find anything.
I looked in the folder, but none of the sizes are 5,611.
So.. here I sit.. Fairly certain one of the new files I downloaded is a virus or just crap, but don't know which one.
There a way I can find out which one without scrapping the last 7 downloads?
