download an .exe

I am running Limewire on Mac OSX. When I try to download a .exe a box pops up that says " One of the selected files is an executable program and may contain a virus. Are you sure you want to download it?" But then there is nothing to say yes to and I can't download it. Any suggestions?

I'm using Windows and I have a Yes button...
Maybe this is a bug, then you should report it LimeWire.
By the way, if you are a mac user you are not supposed to download .exe files since you can't open them on your sexy Apple computer....

I have a Mac @ work with a broadband connection which make my downloads faster. I then can burn my downloads to disc to install or transfer over to my Windows computer @ home, which only has dial up.

I am have sort of the same problem, but when I click yes to download I get a message from lime wire stating that it will not allow me to download it. Does any one have an idea?
Thanks in advance for the help.
