A little advice / help please

I thought you could only get a virus from exe(cutable) files. So if you are just downloading music you'll be fine.

Partially incorrect. Viruses are mainly from .exe files, BUT.
You can disguise an .exe file as an .mp3 or indeed any format.

Downloading music is old. Spotify ftw.

I use torrents, limewire and stuff. never been caught. Although when i went to school years ago this girl got caught copying CD's and selling them on. She got fined and couple of thousand. do it at your own risk!

I think the main problem in that situation was that she was selling them on.

Agreed... well, I will when T-Mobile UK's network is totally 3G so that I can use it on the go properly.

But majority of the time that's not the case, songs can cost up to 1£. One song doesn't seem an awful lot but when you get 50 songs that's 50£.

When getting one song I usually use Youtube downloaders, for an album I might use megaupload/RS (not often), for bulk of songs i'll spend £10 on those 100 song CD's.

Can't say I've seen any £1 songs on AmazonMP3

Some are 99p aren't they? The newest ones? idk

Tbh rapidshare is great i'd just carry on using that. For antiviruses you might as well pirate one if you have a rapidshare account, eset or avast or avg or whatever else is going tbh, none are really bad.

Spotify is still not avalible in Ireland, Yes I could get someone else to register for me but after a few days they block your account until you verify that your from the uk, its a continues battle that I can't be bothered with.

Avast is free anyway, all you have to do is register it for free every 15 months or something.
