James asks…
Is rapidshare safer to download from than bittorent?
I’ve heard it is, but am curious if that is accurate. I know megaupload is now installing anti-piracy spyware. Does rapidshare do the same? And is there anyone for someone like the RIAA to discover your IP address from rapidshare?
admin answers:
You’re never anonymous on the Internet, You’r IP from your ISP is showing up everywhere and people can easily track you down.
No download site is safe, but it mostly depends on what you’re looking for if it’s games and movies up to 8GB then you should consider using a torrent site, like isohunt.
Otherwise if it’s just some small application you should use i.e rapidshare.
However if you know what you’re doing you can mask your IP and make ppl think that you’re located in the pacific ocean 😉

I went torrents a few years ago, and now refuse to use any of that P2P crap.
Torrents are faster, safer, and; well, it’s easier to get whole albums. Plus you can get movies, video games, etc. Etc. You name it, I can torrent it in about three minutes.
And, of course, there are a few tools I use to keep me from having to interact with those lowly torrent sites. 😉
To do the searching, I use Bit Che:
http://convivea.com/download.php?id=2
Bit Che is like the google for torrent sites. It maintains a list of these sites (which is always updating). You enter a search term, and it searches these dozens of sites for whatever you want. The results are then displayed, in order of availability, for you to peruse through.]
For the actual downloading, I use uTorrent:
http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete?os=win
Then you double click a file in Bit Che, tell windows to open with uTorrent, and watch your stuff come flying in.
And, in case you were wondering exactly what a torrent is, or if it’s safe…here’s the wiki entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29
In my personal experiences…I’ve found that torrents are much more secure than P2P. I have never downloaded a bogus song or fake video from a torrent site.
Thomas asks…
Has anyone ever had the “Movieland” virus on their computer? How do you remove it?
I’ve been following all of the steps to remove it but I’ve been unsuccessfull. I haven’t noticed my computer acting differently but the antivirus scan says the virus is present. The values and subkeys I am to delete are not present on my pc. Any advice?
admin answers:
Perhaps you were lucky and only have a trace of Movieland on your computer or perhaps it is simply a false positive from your anti-virus.
You would definitely know if you had a full-blown Movieland infection. You would be bombarded with popups telling you you owed them money for a movie file-sharing program that perhaps you didn’t even download.

First , just as in real life sickness, a second opinion is always best. You could try all 3 of these in insure that your computer is indeed 100% clean.
1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender
http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/
2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido
http://www.ewido.net/en/
3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy

If you are still showing signs of Movieland after all 3 of the above scans, here is another manual removal infomation and procedure:
