New at this.Just downloaded DVD SHRINK.When I open it a message comes up saying "To help protect security internet explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer." Is this something I have to worry about?Is there one place I can download it from where I don't have to worry?

In this day & age, you never click run, save to a folder in your My Documents, call it My Installs & install from there.

If the source of the download is this website, then it's clean. You need not to worry about it. This securiy warning is due to the Internet Explorer security mechanisms for ActiveX controls. If you want to eliminate future warnings then on IE go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab, scroll down to security and check off "Allow Acitive content to run in files on My Computer."

Install the program as suggested by soup1 and as PrymeH stated, there is nothing to worry about as the downloads from this site should be clean. You can always run the program through your virus scanner if it will help you sleep better.
