MP3 is done by the Fraunhofer Institut, but the codec is distributed by Microsoft (and certified by Microsoft)

RE: Microsoft: Security Warning POPUP
WMP uses a sort of IE to access the media and download codecs from time to time, when needed. Nothing else.

RE: Microsoft: Security Warning POPUP
Unless it's a fake security alert (i wouldn't see why, if the virus can fake the alert it might as well install itself) you know it's real without viewing the certificate because Verisign wouldn't give a certificate to anyone under the name of Microsoft unless it was Microsoft itself...

RE: Microsoft: Security Warning POPUP
Can your computer play MP3 files? Because if not maybe your comp is begging for the codec
