LW won't open it. You have to open the file outside of LW. Easiest way to do that is to go to the LW Library, click on the file you want, then click the explore button. The folder will open up and you can run it from there. Be sure to scan it before you open it.

Was it LW or your antivirus software that was giving you this message? Executable files (.exe) are fairly dangerous to download...they very frequently contain viruses. If you want to download programs, I suggest you go for files with the .rar extension. You can scan them for viruses before you actually use them. Winrar, which is necessary to open these files, is shareware.

Good Luck

I am unable to drag the two .mp3 song files I downloaded from Limewire V 4.13.0 into iTunes or my IPod. Any thoughts?

See thread 36 - All I get when I try to drag is a black circle with a line thru it. Can't burn the files to my CD either. (Windows XP)

I Am Looking At My Upload Page And I Notice That Status Is Complete On One Song But Progress Is Stuck On 35 % .
Surely That Should Be 100% .

The file was being uploaded from more than one host. They got 35% from you and the rest from other hosts that had the same file. So the status being complete is correct.

Question Cannot get movie to connect

I just paid my $18.88 to regain access to support, and a re-install... And that ain't helping.
Every movie I try to download ends-up with "need more sources" even though the movie lists 70 hits (or whatever). Now with the new Beta 4.13.2 it tells me that it has tried 26 sources (or whatever) but I still end-up with "need more sources". And these are hits that say "Browse Host" or "Chat with Host." So the host should be online.
I have had Limewire for a year (which is why my support ran-out) but I never had these problems.
So, I am open to anyone else's suggestions.

If you have checked to see if it's a legit file with Bitzi and you still come up with need more sources try deleting your preference folder...
The instructions are in this thread...point 2
