If you are planning on using winamp (True Launch Bar has winamp plugin) you might want to check into this:

Quote:Probably the worst software install trick, however, is the WinAmp3 installer. When you install WinAmp3, it will add an AOL.COM domain to your list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer and lower the security settings for the trusted domain list. The result is that visiting one of AOL.COM's domains will allow it to download and execute code on your system without so much as a prompt

I don't use winamp so I can't verify but others here might want to check.
