I was wondering if you can help me, see whenever I try and Download either a video or image from limewire, when I open the file it just comes up as a advert for the "Clearout club" with a picture of an i-pod on. However when I upload the pictures onto photobucket and they come up fine. Music files work fine when I first download them.

I was wondering if anyone knows whats causing this and how i can stop it?

Thanks that makes more sense. But I still don't get why it's doing it with Jpgs...

It's a trick! Just as all spam is!

They can be manually edited to add stuff, without your knowledge of it being there.

Why I avoid those types of files. They can contain other nasty things too like viruses.

And something to keep in mind about wmv files is the same as wma files; see: Things you should know about WMA
