AOL is wrong on the advice they have given you, about LW harming your PC, I guess they must have an anti-P2P policy.

What you should do is ask AOL's tech support how you can get their anti-spy app to ignore LW. For example, both Ad-aware and Spybot can be configured to ignore installed applications, therefore AOL's app should have the same capability to ignore safe apps not currently in it's definition database.

As for viruses, you must stay away from exe and zip files, (I believe) some organisation, paid for by the film and music industry, have seeded the P2P network with viruses contained in small files (typically 871Kbs). Therefore, have nothing to do with suspect files and keep your virus definitions up to date.
