Launcing or installing downloaded .exe files
 
How do I successfully launch downloaded .exe program files?--the progam downloads but it is not stored in my shared folder nor is it executionable--what is the problem
The error msg always reads: "Limewire will not launch the specified file for security reasons"--
My firewall is open to Limewire--what is the probem?

wondering why May 1st, 2007 12:01 AM

Take notice of the security warning or you will end up infected...

Dont Open Them Delete Them

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The record company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

Peace.

P.S. By the way, I do agree for the most part with Mick. It's just that I have downloaded these file types, successfully at times, but I have gotten infected other times, and as we know, that isn't very much fun...

I agree its not imposable, If you are Savi with L/W, (Long time user) no your stuff, But going by this is the first post of elcapitan!, I have tallied rightly or
not, we are not addressing an expert.
If you no what your doing OK, but dont forget to scan them before opening them
Peace
