    Hey have you tried the following:

    start --> control panel --> programs --> change default settings for media or devices

    and adjusting those settings?

    You have just increased the probability of infecting your computer. Not a wise decision.

    Have you any idea what "Karlsnooks" means when he says "You have just increased the probability of infecting your computer. Not a wise decision."

    Nope I'm still waiting for a response.

    I wouldn't worry too much as tbh there are tons of ways for a computer to get infected as long as you take sensible precautions you should be fine e.g. anti-virus program kept up-to-date, run scan every now and then etc...
