Thorgrim, the site was probably Steve Gibson's grc.com. Since he has been instrumental in exposing spyware and he recommends ZoneAlarm, I doubt that the program has any spyware connections. It does have an auto-update feature (like many programs) which can be disabled.

As for the original post, Mangina, why all the mystery? I don't understand your reluctance to name the site so that others can avoid it. Otherwise, your mentioning this isn't very useful. I assume this was an exe file of some kind that you installed. Very few Poser downloads (except those from DAZ) are exe files. I always run a virus scan on any downloaded executables.
