How do you play a movie after you have downloaded the torrent?
I have bit torrent and I downloaded a movie through it. But I don’t know how to play it. I’m new to this whole torrent thing so some one help me out please. =)

If you don’t have winzip or you have trouble using it, try another program to unzip the file. For example, a neat little piece of freeware is “Extract Now”. Tiny file — under 2MB — and dead simple to use. After you’ve installed it, just click on it to open it then simply drag and drop your zip file into it and click on “extract”, and it will extract the file to the same location as your zip file. (eg your desktop or “download” folder.) Then you open the unzipped file and there’s your movie. 🙂 Click on it to play via your default player. (eg Windows media player or MediaPlayer Classic.)
You can get “extract now” from many places, but here’s a link for majorgeeks because I know they’re a safe site:

How do I get rid of this virus?
I downloaded a virus with a music or movie download and it is constantly poping up windows asking me to visit websites to get a antivirus program to stop the pop-ups. How can I find the virus and rid my pc of it? Thank you.
admin answers:
You can run Bitdefender’s free online scan which doesn’t need to be downloaded http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
If you know when you got the virus, you can do a system restore to a time before the virus was on your system. This article tells you how to run it from safe mode http://bertk.mvps.org/html/safemode.html
Your best protection in general is a complete internet security suite such as Bitdefender or Norton internet security 2008.
The only effective way to block it from coming up from some damaged website that you visit is to activate parental controls in your internet security or parental control software and block the site. This will prevent you from seeing it and getting it again.

Can seeding from torrent sites harm my computer?
Sorry, I am new to torrent and file sharing.I downloaded a movie from a site and just wondering if it is safe.I understand others will be downloading the file but can they hack or get into my computer?
admin answers:
Typically not. But anything can be harmful. When sharing, your ip address will be known to those getting the files from you. What they do with that is out of your hands. It’s more than likely just a bunch of other people like you that want the file as well. But there is a chance that some other hacker or government agency is one of those “peers” that is interested in obtaining your ip address. That will depend on what types of files you’re sharing (hopefully not illegal infringing material)

How to convert video to audio in Windows Live Movie Maker?
In the old movie maker I used to drag video into the audio bar and it would convert into audio. I am trying to do that in the new movie maker but I don’t know how.
admin answers:
Sorry, but you can’t do this with Windows Live Movie Maker<:-(
If you have Windows 7, you can download and install an XP version of Movie Maker (2.6) or the Vista version (6.0).
