Just downloaded a program and Limewire won't let me launch it because of "security reasons". How do I fix this?

The launch feature in LW is ONLY intended for multimedia such as videos & music. The security reasons refers to the possibility of viruses.

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Then open it up from there.

Sounds like it. Yes there are some bad files out there so keep searching until you find a good one.
