[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1357452, member: 40142"] Its a common trick to get a trojan infection, but it only works if you download and install a program So if you just ignored the prompts to download a player or codec then nothing has happened. Even if you did download it, you would then have to install and give your admin account password to the installer to install any dodgy software If you haven't installed anything, and given it permission to install then no worries, there is no possible infection. If you ever receive a prompt to update flash or anything else, then close the web tab and check with adobe or Real Player to get updates from them, never at the prompting of a third party website [/QUOTE]
