Default Virus Programs

Why has Limewire all of a sudden got so many virus programs?
when searching for applications or programs hundreds of files appear with a file size of 851.7KB which have virus's attached to them.
Since upgrading to the new version of Limewire i have noticed this more and more...why? is there that many evil people out there trying to cause mayhem and distruction??????

I don't think the new version has anything to do with the viruses increase.. I'm afraid it is a fact of life for p2p and there are those who would rather it did not exist and they might just have something to do with it... possibly

The Tips and tricks forum has a number of stickies you can read about the subject ..Follow this link:-

Just remember that most programmes are several megabites at least and anything of the size of 1/3 of a MB is not likely to be a proper programme atall.
