WinAmp and Trojan Message

Stopzilla blocked the instalation of WinAmp 5.5. with a Media-Codec file identified as a highly dangerous Trojan. A little research in the WinAmp forums and around the net found this to be a False Positve reading. I also discovered in my wandering that StopZilla deleted the instalation componants of the file. Not good.

If this happens to you, shut down StopZilla during the instalation. When all of the basic options are set for WinAmp, close it and reboot. This will restart StopZilla, (Assuming you have in the StartUp file.) Then WinAmp should play with no problem.

Speaking of WinAmp 5.5, it can totally replace iTunes in the management of your iPod. I mentioned in an early blog entry that the plugins for iPod control in WinAmp were clumsy. Not a worry any more, it is now part of WinAmp to manage any portable Mp3 player, including iPod. I synced all of the files I have loaded since iTunes committed hari kari in its last upgrade attempt. No more worry, at least with my ancient 60 Gb iPod Photo.
