<p>VLC creators,</p>
<p>Your player is awesome. Just want you to know that when I
recently updated from the pop up message, I got a nasty
surprise each time i opened a music file that i created of a
photo image of a dead rat in a gutter No orange cone, but a
dead, ugly, rat. I had to uninstall vlc and reinstall it. I
had to delete all my music files and reinstall from a back up
source. Everything is ok now, but i sure won't update anymore
from a pop up, but will go straight to your site. Can you tell
me what may have happened? Don't know if others had this
happen to them. Maybe this is helpful for you? </p>

I'm not part of their staff but it sounds to me like either the
music files were infected and vlc wasn't shielded from a script or
more likely that something on your computer redirected the
downloader to a false site. This is assuming that the popup window
was vlc's automatic one and not some random virus/site popup.<br>
