That's called a false/negative, but don't worry just dload it. IE knows it's a ripping tool so it tries to scare you

Yep I'm comparing the two at the moment, for accurate rips on a PC it would seem that these two are the best. I haven't made up my mind yet as to which I prefer though.

Thanks all ....... I didn't realise that Media Player would do it - and, as that's my default I think it is wise to use that - it will be simple enough for me I think!?
