download accelarator sounds suspicious. but double check you son hasnt isntalled it as well.
winamp is a popular media player software so it should be ok, might be worth checking the spyware/adware thread to check your pc is clean and running in tip top condition0 -
if it was from the Tesco site then it should be fine
but nothing wrong in following the spyware "sticky" at the top of this sectionEx forum ambassador
