Default can't launch exe format downloads

when i try to launch exe downloads i get an error box saying: "will not open due to security reasons" or something along that nature...i'm not too great with computers, but i thought that it might have had to do with something with my limewire/or computer settings....anybody know? so far it only errors on exe downloads

be careful about exes, they might be viruses even if your virus scanner doesnt say it is. most scanners are signature-based, which means the company has to get a sample of the virus to figure out how to handle it. they release the update and the scanner works.


however, its easy to compress an exe or change it to defeat the anti-virus signature.


please use the online service at http://housecall.trendmicro.com to scan your system for free.
