Thanks for the info. I just turned off the "Acquire licenses automatically for protected content".
Lol that should have been done even without this development;).

In Media Player 9, turn on the menu bar if it's off (by clicking the double arrow near the top of the screen). Then click Tools, Options. Go to Privacy tab. Turn off "acquire licenses automatically" here. Heck, uncheck everything on this page while you're there.

Re: WMA -- Base install

I know when I installed WM 10 it asked me and before I even came onto this article I turned it off. Dont ask me why but if microsoft says its a default then I change it immediately.

I'm still using WMP 9. Is there any reason to think that WMP 10 is more (or less) secure?
