VIRUS ATTACK while downloading *ob*r by *i*k
 

Just tried downloading . Search criteria was *o*er/EDIT. Downloaded the 11th song down, 5611 KB, 192 bit rate. title typed in as "*o*er EDIT" Properties included Hash: urn:sha1:Y64ZHRNFAYZEOZ2BMGCWY7DV2ZL2HWY4
EST AV program log noted the attack as: C\...DOCUMENTS\LIMEWIRE\INCOMPLETE\T-5745425-EDIT.MP3 a variant of WMA/TrojanDownloader.GetCodec.gen trojan
Under 'Quality' it shows a cracked square. Evidently I wasn't paying attention but to be honest, I dont even know what that means.
MODERATORS: Didnt know how else to contact limewire, sorry.
I hope this info is sufficient to help follow up and to not get anyone else attacked. ESET Antivirus stopped it.
