slightly confused please help (padlock icon)
 
hey, i am new to lw, i was just wondering why when i tap in a song to search for it none of them have a padlock by them??
they all just have stars under quality, i thought it was only the padlocks that are safe to download? thankyou!

The orange warning banner with the padlock was added because there's a bogus LW update showing up in search results. It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LimeWire update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music, movies etc...just to LW updates;)
