I went to the site and the instrucions were to download a .exe file,
but i read in the forum above to only download.dll?

also you said to scan downloads before I open them?
Is it OK to just download this??
am i suposed to scan them first or someting?
Im cautious, my last computer died

Peerless ponted you to the official LW site so if you're a pro user all you need to do is go to the pro section & enter your details (you should already have a personal page if you are a pro user so you can redwnld/updae any time.) As far as scanning for viruses go. For windows you should always do it! Particularly after your previous experience. If you have doubts about an official dwnld site then scan those files 1st as well. You should scan everything that enters your computer - otherwise you're looking for more probs. It might be a ''pain'' to wait for it to do this but it's always better to be on the safe side. It annoys some peiole doing this but play it safe always.

Red face virus protection

OK this may be a repeat post, because I thought I posted this reply yesterday, but now cant find it.

SO if this is a repeat, please excuse me

Lord thankyou, I downloaded the Lime, because I trust you, without scanning it
(and because I am dumb and it would have taken many a night to figure out how to scan the softeware for viruses)

Ok Now i want to download music.

How do I scan the music files with Norton or Zone Alarm firewall
before i download them-(or after i dont know the procedure)

and make sure I dont infect myself with these music files?

Perhaps one day its possible but until then its no reason to be a paranoid, MP3s are save.

OK thank you . I printed out all the information you gave me about scanning- Ill try to figure it out(and fail) but thank you for your patience, and helping me.

I dont know if this is the place to ask this..

Im using Limewire Pro. Is it suposed to have only a fraction of the search results that regular Lime wire has?

For example I got no results for the band edited on pro, but with regular I got hundreds
