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.

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.
