You dont even have to download things illegally to get them. Most of them are embedded, and hijack Safari with no effort at all.  But to the OP: Yes, especially if they are telling you to get a new codec. Use VLC, it has pretty much every codec built in. Safari is a waste, just as much so for IE. Plenty isn't the word I'd use either... There are plenty. Safari has been one of the most exploited programs this year, with a new exploit being released within hours of Apple updating it most of the time. Just because you are on a Mac doenst mean you are invulnerable. Steve Jobs blessing doesnt give you super powers, just an inflated ego.
