help with downloading files
 

Hi. Sometimes when I double click on a file to download it, instead of the file beginning to download, I get an internet explorer page which opens up and goes onto an adult content website.

I want to download files, but not get all this rubbish.
:annoyed:

thanks.

Your trying to download spam, you need to get familiarised with fake and spammed files, as well as one's that are infected with viruses...

WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Thanks.

Is there any way to stop limewire from opening an internet explorer page?

Run an Anti-Virus scan and also a Spy-ware scan and see if you have a trojan or similar that keeps directing you to the IE page...

Here's some good freebies....

Anti-virus:

avast!

AVG free

Avira Antivir

Antispyware etc:

ad-ware __(FREE)

Spybot - Search & Destroy __(FREE)

AVG Antispyware (formerly Ewido)

thanks mate ;]

Yikes!! No, NOT AD-WARE
 

Ad-ware is actual spyware and can really mess up your computer. The correct version is AD-AWARE. AWARE not WARE for the last part after the hyphen.

Cosimaf, WW has the right LINK, Just a TYPO. :D

Nice Pick Up though. :idea:

Whoops...My Bad...:shoot:
