That's what I figured. A password-protected multimedia post is
probably similar to infected warez. After a very short period of
time, you can easily tell what's crap, or dangerous to your computer.
As much as I want some of this stuff, I'll leave it alone. By the
way, the nym that's being used to post this stuff is also widely seen
in warez groups, and it's practically all infected crap.
What I think I might do is post a request in the group for the
passwords, and hope I get one. Then, I might run the stuff in a
sandbox
Thanks for the reply. Smeggy
