You said, talking about viruses:
Quote:
i was under the impression that if i purchased pro i wouldn' t have this anymore, and why doesn't limewire scan its files before allowing them to post, as many other p2p's do?
How on earth did you get this impression? And why do you believe LW has some sort of virus scanner in it.

It quite obvious that you think the files you are downloading are vetted and held by the LW org, well newbie Thur91 they are not. The files you download are held on PCs owned and used by hunderds of thousands of individuals just like you and I, not a central server or centrally owned server farm.

Finally, the LW org can neither tell you, me or anyone else what we can hold and share on our PCs, they can advise us to use an AV app but they can't force us to.
