Hi JDJD,
You wouldn't be the first to pick up junk from CNET.
-----------------------------------------------It's really important, if you value your PC at all, to stay away from P2P file sharing programs, like
µTorrent, Bittorrent, Azureus, Frostwire, Vuze, Shareaza, Bitlord.
Criminals have "planted" thousands upon thousands of infections in the "free" shared torrent files.
Virtually all of these recent infections will compromise your Security, and some can turn your machine into a useless "doorstop".
