can I download without getting a virus?
 
While trying to download a certain program, both limewire and my avg stopped me to say they detected a trojan horse dropper, so i stopped it and its status changed to "file corrupted". Now, there were many others up for download, but with each I tried to download, the same thing happened. So I was wondering, is there really a virus in each of those programs, or does my computer just think there is because the program is attempting to run on my computer? Help would be much appreciated!

Deffinatley.....You need to be really careful in what you choose to download, your just lucky your AV stopped you in time....
Check this thread out it has good info in it...:rolleyes_2:

Thank you so much! I guess I'll put my program downloading on hold for a while. :)
