Limewire Containing Viruses in folder "_"
 
There are Millions of Win32.IRCBot.dd file(s) hiding in your main shared folder with .rar file extensions. Infact the only folder that contains over 100 .rar file extensions is in the _ folder which is hiding in your Limewire Shared folder.

I am not kidding, all these .rar file extensions have been hiding there since i have first paid for Limewire Pro 4.12.6.
Check out for yourself with a Pro Anti-Virus scanner known as Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Here is an image (Please just click on the link below):

Pathetic isn't it, and the scan shows 17% so there is bound to be more infections.

Why does Limewire Contain Viruses when it says it doesn't?

Limewire doesn't contain viruses. LW is just a file sharing program. The files come from the people that use it.

LW doesn't have a central server. The files come from each individual computer(you and me) that share files on LW. Everybody is free to share whatever they want. So you have to be careful what you download and scan each file before opening it.

Some good info in this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Another good thread: Anti-virus protection and so on
