Hi stone428,
You have to be really careful with what you download (specially programs), there are lots of junk & infected files around now. See here for virus info:

Be wary of exe & zip files Make sure you've got a good AV program & keep it updated. Spyware & adware programs are a good idea, too. Scan files before opening!

Unfortunately, LW can't control what people share - good or bad. After a while, you'll get to know what looks suspicious. You can always use the junk filter to mark files that look weird (no bitrate, ALL CAPS, L_I_K_E T_H_I_S etc).

See here for how to use Bitzi to check files:

Good luck!

* If you bought LW, then it's Pro from the official site
www.limewire.com ?? If you bought anything but Pro from the LW site for US$18.88 then it was a scam!

the thing that will save you from all, like, unwanted parasites is a thing called Avast, which is totally free. duuuuude u must be thinkin' it's bad, but no. the free version is just for home users. go to google and type avast, register, get the home version and u r totally safe. (better then AVG and Norton and all those antiviruses, and it's way way cooler, theres like a voice message going "warning a virus has been detected") anyway, this Avast saved me from at least 5 LimeWire viruses. hint - Never download things that have a small size (if u see a game such as warcraft 3 and it says the size is 400kb u can be sure it's a virus) i never open small sized files and i never get viruses, even without the help of avast...

P.S - i never tried to download WarCraft 3 so don't listen to me about that particular game...

Unfortunately Limewire.org do not advertise such things. It looks like you bought your version of LW from a scam site. Only scam site advertise free games, etc. Membership? - **WARNING**- Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link)

Oh heck, I just realised this is a 4 month old thread!
