Has anyone here ever contracted a computer virus from programs like audacity, cdwave or trader's little helper? I recently had a PC crash, and i'm not quite sure why. It was built from parts, and I was the third owner, so I figured it had had a good run. I got a new PC about a week ago, and installed the programs mentioned above, and after tracking out a few shows, my new PC crashed, now it won't recognize the hard drive. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a coincidence, or if one of the programs could be to blame. The only commonality between the old PC and the new one was the installation of those programs. I used all three successfully for a year or more with no issues, so it may not have anything to do with the software, but I just thought I'd see if anyone could offer any input.
Thanks!
