![]() I am new to limewire and the first file I downloaded was a 851.7 kb. Lucky me... later I found out this was a virus. Anywho, the file was a .zip and when I tried to open the Setup.exe, a windows notification popped up and I didnt remember what it said, but I clicked the button and the file dissapeared. I did it twice and it did the same thing so did I still get the virus? is that concidered opening it? btw, I don't have Norton Antivirus... but if I got the virus, and then use Norton later (when I get it) it wouldn't be too late to get rid of it, right? *edit: the windows notification was odd... it didn't look like that of a virus warning. It said something like the file cannot be opened Last edited by bitterswt89; September 11th, 2005 at 05:53 PM. |

![]() First thing, DON'T TRY TO OPEN IT! Next, get AVG anti-virus from Grisoft. It's free, and you don't have to wait to remove the virus if you do have it. Those small files are usually trojans, and are a pain in the @$$. Always look at the file size when downloading. Also, read other postings in the forum. Most of the problems w/ viruses and spammers are explained in them. |
