 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?   |

| 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:http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=41432 |

| 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. |
