Two things:

(1) My AVG Anti virus 7.1 (free edition) has
just decided bittorrent.exe is a virus,
does this indicate an infected exe or
is it that BT is now on AVGs virus
signature list, if so, why?

(2) I've recently used Nero Sound Trax to
record my pc audio (for example streaming
audio from bbc website) to wav.

Is there a simple free tool that will
do this? and will it also record to mp3
directly?

(1) This happens a lot with AV programs. An infected exe is a possibility, but the most likely explanation is that bittorrent is doing something that mimics virus heuristics, and you've just got a false positive.

(2) Most wave editors will allow this. You could do a whole lot worse than try Audacity.

AVG has never found that as a virus for me, but I use "BitTornado", so you never know.

I recommend treating it as an infected file, deleting it, then redownloading it from another source.

As for #2, get Audacity. Plain and simple.

Indeed, AVG and Bittornado as well, never had any problems :)
