Mars Previewer ll Virus ?????

Hello All,
Can some one please tell me what is going on with this? I constantly hear people tell me not to download Mars Previewer 2 because it has a virus. Is that true or not?
Thanks and Clear Skies,
Justin Parish

Justin,

In the August issue of Astronomy Magazine, they gave a link in which to download the Mars Previewer II freeware. Unfortunately, that link for the download did have a virus (which I found out). I have since found a new source and this is virus free!!! Here is the link:

Once on the page, scroll down and you'll find it. It's easy to use with no problems.
