    I am not aware of these stories. However, for uncompromised VLC player you should always download it from the official site. There probably are some copies out there which have been tampered with. The same applies to most popular software though.

    I had tea with Elvis and Lord Lucan the other day ............. :rolleyes:


    The internet is 90% poo and conspiracy theories. Programs and apps are being reported as dangerous all the time. ( False positives) Most programs connect to the web, or phone home , over zealous ( or badly written) malware apps decide it must be a trojan.


    Only download from official sites, always scan every download before opening. Always create a restore point before changing /installing anything.
