Default some newbie probs help please

Hiya.
I'm a newbie to limewire and having some probs. When I attempt to 'play' something I've downloaded I get a pop up thingy and then my virus checker says "play.exe" is a virus. Of course I panic each time and chuck it in the vault. What is 'play.exe'? Is it necessary to play limewire downloads?
Secondly, when I attempt to play a file I've downloade a pop up asks to acquire lisence-- do I click ok or what??
Also why do I keep getting this file that has Bill Clinton saying some s**t and a video of a rocket blasting off? So far only one music file I've downloaded has actually been what I searched for and downloaded. I have filters checked.
Help please. Thanx

Be very careful of downloading games via LW. Many are incomplete or virus infested.
