I got that PM too.  When I clicked "all" to read the thread, it lead me to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=288545.0;all

Weird.  I never entered my user/pass, but I changed it anyway.  Thanks!

It is also distributed as a Windows executable which is a really poor way to distribute an audio file for the following two reasons:
1) Many Bitcoin users do not use Microsoft Windows.
2) Those Bitcoin users that use Microsoft Windows should be really sceptical of a .exe file since it could be used to install malware to steal Bitcoins and / or another cryptocurrency such as Litecoins etc.
