Yeah, I've been victim of this before in an attempt to get a decent virus scanner, but it turned out that the virus scanner I downloaded was itself a virus (worm, to be exact). I've learned a great deal since then, mostly from this website and a couple others; what I don't know about, I use a great deal of caution with.
Stage6 was the reason I posted about this, as it was a legit site that required something out of the ordinary to view their content. I would use a torrent site, if they (torrent sites) would go about it in a legal manner and the content were a little more accessable (not 5 hours til time to watch).
With so much abusive content (and delivery of content) being out there, it's amazing the good ones can manage to stay afloat with all the justifiable paranoia, whether it be video, music, or even addons.
