Smile Programs always have Virus or threats!

Hello Everyone! I have a question!
When I download a program from Limewire (software program) it always has a Virus or Threat. I have tried about 50 different programs and all have threats. What do you do?
Hope you are all staying Cool!
Yvonne

It's your firewall or system's natural response to any program downloaded from the internet.

As far as Gnutella network viruses go, see WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on blue link)

For firewall access see: Windows Firewall - LimeWire or User Cant Connect - LimeWire

Other good links to see are the Stickys at the top of this section: Getting Started Using LimeWire - Gnutella Forums & also see How to find music
