DO NOT use "SUPER" video converter!

Hey guys,

I wish my first post to this forum was under better circumstances.
I recently purchased a 4GP Ipod Nano and a 4GB Iphone and was looking for freeware to convert avi. mpeg and asf to .mov. I ran across this post:
http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0071.html

I downloaded the "SUPER" software and ever since then my laptop has been attacked by Trojans. I have anti virus software and it quarenteens new trojans every few hours but they keep appearing. I have since uninstalled the damn thing but I am still seeing and finding trojans.
Just fyi, please do not download this freeware.

If you guys know of a good video converter please let me know.

Thanks

It has no spyware
Its free

Can you tell me where to get it from.
I am gunshy after the recent spyware, I am scared to just search for it and end up with another hacker's creation.

From what I can find on their page, Handbrake will not do avi, mpeg conversion to mp4 or .mov. It only converts dvd formats

My apologies, my mistake, you are right. I've only used HB for DVDs

I saw the Windows convertor Videora recommended on the Apple iPhone forums. I have no experience of it, but maybe worth Googling for other views and reviews?

I have had no problems with super. I see you got the download from another site; don't ever download files from a site you don't know because you never know what they will add.
Get it right from the makers site. http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Its nice to be able to watch the Bourne Identity when
your waiting for something (traffic, airplane, etc).

Clean your laptop and get Super direct from the authors or get the Cucusoft that meets your needs. I love Cucusoft. But clean you laptop first!

I have been trying to clean it, i have run virus/spyware etc scans several times and they keep finding the same Trojan files and deleting them, yet the trojan files keep appearing.
