Hi all,
I downloaded the entire book of dracula tonight tonight to see how long it would take, since it's a long book, 453 mb. you can download books there either one file at a time, or download a zip file of the entire book. When it was finished, I pressed enter to open it, and got a dialogue telling me the path had an unspecified security flaw, or an unknown security flaw, I forgot the exact wording, so i scanned it with avg, and avg found no virus in it. later i happened to realize i hadn't closed internet explorer down when i tried to unzip the file, and of course, I'm on a permanent connection now with road runner. so I closed ie, or at least i thought i did, but as it turns out, I think i was still on librivox.org while i was trying to open my zip file. when I opened it again,l this time not while i was on the site, winzip opened normally and i unzipped my file. Anybody know why i got that warning, but didn't get the warning after i closed internet explorer? thanks,

No idea. Sounds like you did the right thing, though.

well it seemed to be internet explorer that was causing the problem, cause I have unzipped files before, and never got that kind of dialogue, but i've never had internet explorer open while trying to unzip a file. and although i still don't know why internet explorer did that, i suspect internet explorer had something to do with why I got that dialogue. it's not that it wouldn't let me, it did ask if i wanted to continue, but after a dialogue like that, I was afraid troo, but i'd been downloading books from librivox all along with out any problem, so i took avg's word for it and just left the site where i'd gotten the book.
