    please make sure you have some kind of firewall, or the like before you use any of the winks, my firewall thingy told me that the installer was trying to access the internet after I had already d/l the wink. I just blocked all access and d/l the next wink.

    I Thought I would let everyone know that My antivirus says
    theres an imbedded trojan horse in these files.

    I tried downloading 2 of them to make sure it wasnt a mistake

    I hope this Helps someone before downloading
