I guess that begs the question: how does the android system differentiate a ringtone from a notification? Is it directory based, or is there some other method for sorting out the tones?
on my old phone i would just save the sound as a ringtone and i could use it as either a ringtone or a txt message alert. and how does that app work? i try not to get apps that sit there and want to watch who calls u or who you call and stuff. im pretty protective of it since i dont have any anti virus stuff for it yet. which i need to get.

i tried this a couple ah times in my native settings section and couldnt find a work around...i use go sms pro which is very secure and it allows me to assign any sound to anyone and also let u have more power for differentiating between a notification and a ringtone !
You would go to the contact you wish to designate a ringtone for, click the menu key and select "Set ringtone".
I like narayanan9190 use a third party SMS app to assign ringtones and SMS tones (I use Handcent). I have all my ring/text tones saved to my card so I use Handcent to find them there and assign.

I think it may be directory based but not 100% sure....all I do know is I have my phone set up the following way and never have an issue distinguishing between a notification and ringtone:
Saved to SD card / Media / Audio / Ringtone
Saved to SD card / Media / Audio / Notification
Saved to SD card / Media / Audio / Music
Saved to SD card / Media / Audio / Alarms
etc.......
If you follow that path above you should not have any issues
Go to "My Files" (File Manager) select SD Card and start setting up the directory.....as described above
I just unmount the card from the phone and put it in the laptop and drag the files over to the card.
Regarding the antivirus...i'm using avast on my rooted mobile and activated the firewall.
You should try it.
