SK, have you checked it for clean? There were a couple things interesting I thought...
But I don't know where to check for legit.

Good question, I evidently picked something up from one of the downloads that caused major damage to my pc. Today is the first time I've been able to get back on line. I was told that I would have to reinstall a whole new window's program, but somehow after days and hours of tweeking, I'm here, but who knows for how long.

Don't trust shit unless you can get, inspect and compile the source code yourself. Even if YOU do not inspect and compile it, likely someone else has, and any deviation from the original source code ( Or hijinks present in the original source code itself ) would be discovered.
That's why that osswin link is so cool. It's all Free. Not just in price, but in Intellectual Property Freedom. You are free to take the code, inspect it, audit it, modify it, whatever.
Damned Hippies. But the software is SO good. e.g.: Audacity. ( 1st result in google )
http://audacity.sourceforge.net
If you don't need Protools, The Open Source program Audacity ( Available for Windows, Mac, and Miscellaneous ) does just fine.
