why is this site http://www.kemmcnair.com/ asking me to download
Windows Media Player when I already have it installed??

Is that not QuickTime Player, Maya? At least that is what I can figure out
from the html code.

Like Nonny says, you are not asked to download WMP, just a plug-in for
your browser so that it can utilise the media player to display video
content on the web page.

Such plug-ins exists for both Windows Media Player and Apple Quick Time,
and they are fairly safe. However, if you choose to install QuickTime you
install Apple's media player.

QuickTime is a virus, do not allow it on your machine.
