I have not been able to respond to all your questions until now because I was infected by a trojan on this site several days ago.  It SUCKS having this happene because it takes radical hours of time to track this crapware down through the windows tree and in the mentime you get NOTHING DONE.

I got this infection while reading posts on the Playback Listening page, Musician’s ear thread.  My antivirus program alerted me with a pop up that a trojan was being downloaded.  The program did NOT stop the infection.  Since this was the ONLY WINDOW OPEN open at the time, it is where the infection occurded.  After running a scan, I learned the details of this trojan:

Object name: systemwin.exe
Object path: C\
Discovery: Trojan horse PSW.Generic5.GOY

Here is more information about this trojan:

Spyware PSW.Lmir.ga Information

Trojan.PSW.Lmir.ga is one of Password Capturer spywares.
Finding it on your computer means that your computer is infected with Password Capturer and crucial data could be endangered or even lost.
This Password Capturer is also known as:
•Trojan Horse - named by Panda.
• Win32.Lemir.N - named by Computer Associates.
• Win32/Lemir!PWS!Trojan - named by Computer Associates.
• Win32/Lemir.N!Trojan - named by Computer Associates.

The exe was sitting in the DirectX folder.  I rebooted in safe mode and deleted the exe.  Unfortunately though due to the fact that this trojan is sitting on the goodsoundclub site, I can not afford the time or the aggravation to visit again. Please do not ask me any more details about it because I have listed them all and beside, I do not want to come to this site again and risk reinfection ever again unless the webmaster can get it OFF THIS SITE! Best of luck to you all who stays behind!
