Limewire - Viruses
 

Why are there so many Viruses on Limewire. I refer particularly to the 851.7 ones.

Isn't it possible for the people at Limewire to do something
about it?

:confused:

LimeWire can't control what people share. It's up to the user to be careful with their downloading;) See here for more virus info:

Here is something that might help - create a file of the same type as whatever 851.7 file you see a lot of, i mean a lot a lot, and rename it to something like "[file name] 851.7 is a virus - DELETE" then share it. If it's .mp3's then do an .mp3 if its a .zip then do a .zip, etc.

It should show up on the same search page, and people will start to get the message and some will even catch on that all those 851.7 files are also virii.
