Exclamation Multiple Virii On Limewire

851.7KB IS THE MAGIC NUMBER - DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!! Within the last several days i have attempted, nearly disastrously, to obtain a few programs off L'wire - all were infected with various worms and trojans. fortunately, my anti-V caught it, but nevertheless, they are out there. be very careful. It would appear as though someone has purposely infected folders of a particular type - although i cannot verify this. in my particular case, i was trying to obtain a few different utility programs, i.e. PC Tools products, WinTasksPro and AdAware, but there are others. You'll see several zip files with a kb of 851.7 and some that are zero. beware of those specifically. I would contact the file owners as i find them, but most of the time, i am unable to connect or chat with them. I hope this gets read and passed on. Good Luck!

See WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! Problem is some people get infected but don't know it until later. And in the meantime they share files that are infected. good post of yours. We all need reminding!
