Question Red File

Hi everyone. I just wanted to know if a file that I downloaded would be considered a virus or something unhealthy for my computer. In my library, the name of the file that I downloaded is red. Does anyone know why that is occurring? Is the file safe to have? Thanks for any help!

Files in red aren't being shared...that's all

Right click > share file. Now it should show up in black. Or refresh the page.

You should always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all files that you've downloaded before opening. LW won't tell you if a file's unsafe...it's up to you to make sure that you're careful!
