I've been reading some of the links you have sent me (birdy) and Im much obliged for that...however, I have done a lot of reading and apparently have come up short. I searched a program file and sifted through the results until I found one that I thought looked legit. I looked it up using "bitsi" (I dont trust this site) and everything appeared fine. That is, until I opened the file and was treated to a virus that now has spam littering my desktop.

The funny thing is, I have never had a problem with spam on the basic version of limewire- never. and I have been using it now for almost 5 years. When I downloaded Pro I expected to get a much broader search base and therefore find almost any file I could think of. I was wrong. There is too much spam on this network, and I am considering discontinuing my use of limewire altogether. In LW defence I do know friends who use this program and have had good results...I guess Im just one of the unlucky ones. Great
