Current Talk '10 II / Re: WB 2004 Pilot Redux

Be very careful about doing that! If indeed it is available from one of those sites, you may not be lucky enough to find it the first time you try. What you will more likely find are sites that are up to no good. Some will tell you that you need to install their software in order to download files with them - but what you'll actually end up doing in downloading viruses or spyware. And even if they don't ask you to download their software, that still doesn't mean you're safe because sometimes the file you'll download is itself the virus or spyware or contains the virus or spyware. In particular, be very careful of downloading anything with a .rar extension. Yes, many are legitimate - but so many more aren't. And after decoding/reassembling anything that comes as a RAR file, under no circumstances click on/open any .exe files no matter what any accompanying TXT file(s) might tell you to do! And it's not just viruses and spyware that these people want to install on your computer - I've read that there's something going around that once installed on your computer will prevent you from using a search engine again because every time you click on a link in a search engine, instead of going where you want to, you'll end up at some site that seems to be trying to sell you something (which is bad enough) but is actually attempting to gather any personal information you might provide to it (like e-mail address, street address, phone number, etc.)... These people are very sneaky, so I reiterate: be very careful!
