I just tried a download at sim-speed. com and found viruses in the
downloads. Everyone  should be very careful with this site.
AOL Trojan 873 was one that I found. I then got alerts about more, then
I stopped.

I downloaded a "dodge.exe" that Norton Antivirus 4.0 found an AOL type of
trojan horse virus in.I forget where I downloaded it, but I think it was
supposed to update some track billboards. I never ran it and am glad.
Niether an earler version of McAfee or Norton found it!
Thanks
