the official limewire communications symbol vs. a virus threat
 
I am brand new at this, so... I have been searching for well known artists and their songs for awhile and not one of them has had the Limewire communications symbol with the found music. I am nervous about downloading music without it, but can't seem to find any that have it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to narrow a search for only that symbol or if there is any music with it?:D thanks

That padlock notice you see at the top of your searches is to notify you of a particular search result that contains a virus...
It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates...
