Worm Warning!
 
Hi, I don't know if there's a way to report viruses and worms to Limewire?

A few minutes ago I performed a search for Andy Abraham (People in the UK will know that he was in the X Factor TV show!). Anyway, quite a load of ZIP files appeared in my search and they were all classed as 'Images' and not 'Audio'. I downloaded one, but was feeling pretty suspicious. Afterwards I virus scanned the downloaded zip file and it showed it as being infected with a worm: P2P-Worm.Win32.VB.dw I have Kaspersky Anti-virus and it's never let me down.

Several people are sharing these infected files and it's very likely that their computers may have been infected if they don't have adequate anti-virus protection etc.

Hope it's OK to warn people? I just get so annoyed with people who plant viruses simply to wreck other people's computers.:mad:
