You'd be really stupid to try and download Doctor Who via something other than BitTorrent.

Oh, by the way, I have another program that I'd like you to try. It's called µTorrent. It has many of the same features as Azureus but it's much lighter on memory and CPU and therefore a great deal faster. But of course, Mr. Paranoid won't try it because he had a bad experience once and now he's afraid to set foot outside again.

Honestly, I'm rather tired of your knee-jerk paranoid responses to ridiculously simple and mostly safe things.

Threat of viruses = Extreme paranoia and unreasonable reactions

Virus warning from antivirus software = Freak out, run away and never use the program that spawned the potential virus again

Actual infection of virus = Disconnection of internet wire for minimum of 180 days; three hard drive reformats and data zeroing; restoration from confirmed safe backup; possible suicide or at minimum locking self into closet for long period

Where does it stop?
