SOMEBODY! Anybody, please help!!
i'm just looking around for places to downlad aircraft from, but I am totally new to this. When I saw a video on youtube of somebody who had downloaded a plane from this site and uploaded it to their fsx, I was very pleased to have finally discovered the process. I followed his steps, though I had not downloaded anything, I just performed a sort of "walkthrough." However, the moment I attempted his third or so step-getting to the "program files", selecting fsx, etc.- my computer gave me a harsh warning:
DO NOT MODIFY THSES FILES. IT COULD DANGEROUSLY ALTER YOUR COMPUTER'S ABILITY TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS CONTAINS MANY FILES THAT KEEP YOUR COMPUTER RUNNING PROPERLY."
(I have a dell 4600, with windows xp.)

This site is safe. I've downloaded hundreds of things here. Here's what I do, download (save file) then when it goes to the file, before opening it up, rightclick on it click properties then click scan results (so sort of internet sucerity required). If it seems suspicious, don't do it. I wouldn't go around downloading things if I didn't have an internet security suite or protection or something that could scan your computer.


Thursday 3pm weekly scan.

This site is safe. I have like Wii downloaded hundreds of files from scenery to aircraft here. Pete who owns and maintains the site does a very good job at checking over a file and going around the site looking for errors and stuff that aren't good.

The error you see (if I remember correctly) is just a caution to not do something that you shouldn't or don't know to your computer.

Welcome to SimV.

thanks, im sure i'll get more replies to this, and i meant no offense to Pete, just in case he is reading thsi right now...
alright then. you've finally done it. I think I now trust this site 100%, though it might be a while before i decide to actually do anything...
thanks for every1's help!

just ignore it like i did
