File Size 857.1kb
 
ANY FILE WITH THE SIZE 857.1 IS A VIRUS OR ANY FILE THAT WHEN OPENED ONLY CONTAINS THE PROGRAM STEPUP.

IF YOU LEAVE THIS FILE IN YOUR SHARED FOLDER READY FOR UPLOAD THEN YOU ARE AS GUILTY AS THE SOURCE. WE ALL WANT CLEAN DOWNLOADS BUT WHILST THIS BEHAVIOUR STILL EXISTS WE GET NOWHERE.

Hey Wilnrach
 
That's why NO ONE should share their downloads until they have qa'd every file. Sharing downloads automatically is spreading trash as well as viruses as we speak (or rather, read).

Please turn off capslock: and, Viruses on the P2P Network cant be helped. Limewire has no control over what users share. just keep your Anti Virus protect running and scan every file you download off the Gnutella Network. Just stay away from smaller file sizes and you should be ok.

Heres a hint, avoid software/game downloads and you wont see the viruses/trojans in your searches but of course, you wont do that so, good luck. :rolleyes:

Avoiding files less than 1 MB in size is something we all should do. For those not in the know: 1,000 KB = 1 MB
Now no "normal" audio, video or program files are under 1 MB. People too often get confused between KB & MB & maybe aren't aware of the true size of what they're after. A CD holds 650 to 700 MB. So that's 650,000 KB. Not 650 KB OR 857.1 KB.
