You misunderstand me. Firstly, I can download .zip files from any other source and successfully run the programs or .exe files contained inside them. However, I cannot do the same with any file from LW. It is not a problem caused by LW (or rather, a problem caused by a limewire-related file), because not only do I scan every single file with 3 different security systems (Norton, McAfee, PcCillin), I encountered the same problem (even with the same error message) with every single LW-downloaded .zip file, which is that I cannot even run the program or .exe file contained within the .zip file. Yes, even the first file that I ever downloaded off of LW. To test my theory, I downloaded a file in its original .exe form from LimeWire, never compressed or archived into a .zip or .rar format. That .exe file ran seamlessly. Now that what the problem is has been established and proven, I would like to not discuss and argue about the nature of that problem, but rather find a solution my problem.
