i was trying to view the episode on Thursday last week and someone other than varmap had placed the episode where the video did not come up directly upon clicking but they made me download somehting in order to be able to view the episode which in turn infected my laptop with a deadly virus, we had to pay lots of money to get a tech to get the whole thing solved, and took like 3 days, its been horrible, this is the first time this ever happened with me ever and that too at INDIA FORUMS, a website that i really appreciate.

i therefore request u to please do not let people upload vidoes where we have to download somehing in order to view it Am sure that person did not do this on purpose but we need to make sure somehting like this does no happen to users of the website. could you please include this in your code, if possible Beleive me the virus got ugly! it would keep opening the wromg kind of web pages automatically, clocking on its own and locked up everything else we have on the comp.

Just a warning. thx

my anti-virus came back that this was not somehting it could fix, so we had to get it updated and we called the tech and it was a call that was charged. someone from india was the tech, that was a coincidence and then they charged us $99.99 for the servcie where they logged on to my comp and cleaned it up for like couple days. my virus was so bad that though it was opening web pages all the time, one very 10 seconds or so it was not letting me operate to where my anti-virus could get updated from the web. fyi
