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.
