I note that malware generally is flooding P2P increasingly as many still do not have antivirus protection. I suggested a freeware tool be bundled with Lime to help the less sophisticated users.

Thanks for the reply I was mainly interested in notifying the Forum of the problem with the hope that they may be able to locate the offenders. I run Anti Virus + 4 seperate Anti Spy programs. I also run Zone Alarm Pro Firewall which has the ability to trace an attack backwards & notify Zone Labs of the offending site. PS I'm not paranoid really!

There are a lot of people who still don't have anti-virus solutions on their computers. I make sure all my contacts do, and I encorage them to do likewise.

you could add a virus scanner to Lime Wire which scans the file you want to open before you can open it, and if it finds a virus it deletes it...Mozilla Firefox have it in the Firefox 3 versions...

Its in the beta version of Firefox 3, I was thinking of a stand alone version. This way a small vendor could get their product in the hands of users and generate lots of legitamate well qualified sales leads.
