What they fail to mention, is that this problem is unique to Windows
Media (AFAIK), and is a result of the way it handles DRM licences,
downloading them on demand. This has been exploited by Malware writers
to produce Windows Media files that essentially cause WMP to download
/Malware/ "on demand". Ironic, isn't it?
Another reason to avoid Windows Media.
