Because LW can't control what's shared on the network (since users are free to share whatever they like - good or bad), it's kind of up to the user to be careful with what they download.
There are organisations that would love to see the end of p2p & would sabotage the network. Click on this link for more info: Fake files showing up in search results

Make sure that you check files with Bitzi before download: How to use Bitzi

And some tips here (also tips for avoiding spam): How to find music

In the end, it's up to the user to keep themselves safe Make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan any file that you download - before you open the file.
