Default A Big Problem Trojan Alert

There has been a lot of user complaints to Limewire about a trojan site that uses a sleazy Bill Clinton-like voice to advertise their site (efreeware.com). This sleaze bag developed a program that copies your file request and displays a hit which is actually to their site. Limewire I paid good money for your Pro version and think it's time you did something about this. I sent you a email but no reply. You can ban the site plus block the file length (they are all the same). Can you believe, many idiots actually downloaded the Trojan site and keep it on their computers!!! Please do something now

My final remark before I kill file you (If I can), is to suggest you stop using Limewire because all you do is moan about it. You will lose your 18.88$ you paid for pro but hey it's not a lot and you will be much happier without it. Oh if you paid more than 18.88 you really are on your own

I have noticed all the files that are 851.7 are all infected files
Its odd that no matter what file you do a search on the majority of the files sizes are 851.7?

Default Phony Sites

The people who have these trogan and virus sites have developed software that displays false user ID and number of user sites. It's not that people have downloaded this crap and have it on their computer. I am using the new update 4.10 Plus (purchase version) and it eliminates most of these sites now.

I have also started to use edited which is much faster and has many more users. A must for large files like movies.
