download help. puhleezzz!! Newbie
 
Hi....I recently purchased this program and when I attempt a download on certain files I receive this message. "one of the selected files is an executable program an could contain a virus." How come it shows up on some files and not others. Is there a good possibility that it does contain a virus. A reply would be greatly appreciated.

Becareful with the .exe files. Almost all of them are viruses. Scan them with an anti-virus before you run them ( I stay away from them totally). That message should show up on all .exe files that you are attempting to download.

Hi....DeepBlue.....I will heed your advice. That is what I was going to do if I hadnt received your informative reply.

Don't get me wrong, not all .exe files are viruses, but a good part of them are. You can probably trust that progam's website for a download more than LW. I hope this helps.
