First of all, never download anything from the Internet without an up-to-date virus scanner (duh?).

Secondly, as far as I'm aware, there are no viruses on any of the files that you can download.

You're welcome?

I downloaded from here and didn't get a virus, noob. I have to agree with Xtank...

Agreed. My virus scanner is constantly updated and paid for...which is important, since so many malware coders out there target the freeware anti-virus programs and engineer their viruses and spyware to defeat them, counting on the vast majority of net users to be too cheap to actually pay for an anti-virus and thus financially support the anti-virus coders. There's a huge difference between AVG Free and the paid-for AVG Anti-Virus--both of which I've had. And guess which one found a heap of junk on my hard drive that the other overlooked after I forked over about $40 at Walmart and made an upgrade.

And while under full protection from malware, I downloaded and installed the emulator's files without incident.

So you'd better break out the Scooby Snacks and keep looking for the real malware executable, Smokewood. Rolleyes
