O.P. Be Aware!
OK  a little background been on this PC internet game a good few years now so am no green horn...

But I got caught out being half asleep is/was no excuse (am getting to it)

Well there I was streaming avi clips and it came to a certain one clicked on it and what happened (come on get on with it I hear you saying)

Well remember I was half asleep .... Windows media player said to watch this clip properly you need to download this codec (I have all the codecs you would ever need from the kazzalite codecpack) but it didn't register at the time so I downloaded the codec and installed it well hell broke out both firewalls ( one was a NAT) went berzerk and virus scanner could not cope so i spent the day and night formatting and reinstalling everything....

REMEMBER THIS the avi was playing in windows media player and it was that avi that had the link on it for the codec but being asleep I made a mistake and believe me I don't make mistakes (till that time thought i'de say it before anyone else)

This is for your info only (hope it helps to stop it happening to someone else.....

Me being Security Admin on many Servers:wink:
Have a good time always!
