i recently had a motherboard failure (asus replaced uder warrenty) so i rebuilt my system and added a new 550 gig hdd, ihave reinstalled xp pro on 430 gig of that drive and vista premium on the rest so i can have a dual boot system, all seemed fine until i visited a site called softarchive.net and then bullguard, malbytes anti malware and super anti spyware went crazy with alerts so i quickly turned off my router and ran scans with all three programs. they found and removed all items detected (vundo and variants trojans) i restarted my computer in xp rescanned and all was ok.
i then booted to vista and within seconds bullguard said i had an mbr infection i think it was called bootme(i forgot to write it down sorry) i read the warnings and let bg remove it and all seems ok again. i asked my friend to visit this site as he has the same programs installed as me and he found no problems. is it possible that my computer is being targeted in some way when i access this site.
further to my original post i visited softarchive using vista through a proxy and everything was ok no viruses trojans malware or anything else, my worry is that i download albums that i own on vinyl but cd quality is so much better. as far as i am aware i am not commiting an offence so i just need to know if my isp or some other agency like the english version of the riaa to track my downloads or could it just be a hacker who just wants to annoy me.
