Worms in program loads ?
 
Ok , so here I am a original nappie , then winmx , and now searching for something that is just as good. Well limewire a Gnutella client seemed like a good shot. So I loaded it and all seemed ok , good speeds etc and decent results. Now the music isn't a problem BUT everytime I try to load anykind of software its always infected with a worm virus !!! My pc is protected to the max and I know how to stop malware, spyware and viruses etc from invading , but can anyone tell me why any and most programs loaded from Limewire are always bugged ?

Probably because they are. The vast majority of nasties are in the .exe files. Since this is my first day I won't stick my neck out with a cureall suggestion. However, I can agree with the amount of virus/malware/spyware alerts I get from Panda, ewido and zone alarm. The bulk of them related to worm.VB.an. It's irritating to say the least but that's what you get when you share. Many of the shared files are not used so the owners are not aware they are infected and the HD on is oblivious to them.
