All the songs I downloaded turned into Zip Folders! WHY?! And how to I fix it?!
 

I recently downloaded LimeWire 4.12 and downloaded several songs. The next day I turned on my computer and got on Limewire, all my songs suddenly turned into Zip Folders. I tried extracting the file from one, to see what it would do, and then it said file was corrupt. I was just listening to them the day before with no problem! So what went wrong? I can't even listen to them, or download any other songs without them turning into a zip folder the next day. Please, someone help me to find out what's wrong and how to fix it!! THANKS!!! :confused:

Not to sound like a "know it all" or anything, but I know it's not a virus. My fiance is a computer networking technician, and we have the best security on our computers. And I have no viruses on my computer currently. And anytime that my computer shows signs of lagging, I have him fix it. So there's got to be something else.

Ok...Try the search function on the top right and have a look at how many people are experiencing the same problem...This is a new virus and I really recommend that you go to one of those sites and post a Highjack this log..

It can't hurt and who knows you may be able to prove me wrong...:rolleyes_2:

what antivirus do you use? FYI, Norton antivirus is the best

Norton is crap...How many AV's have you tried ???

I use Norton Systematic Corporate Edition. I'll check it out and get back with yall. But is there any other recommendations if this doesn't work? Thanks yall.

Not yet...As this is only new, we haven't got a sure fix but to send you to experts...:)

my songs just did that within the past 15 minutes.my computer was being really slow and so i restarted it and when i turned it back on they were all compressed zip folders and it kept saying my files were corrupted:confused:
