Newbie
 
Hi I am new to Limewire....whenever I do a search I am always finding zip or exe files. When I try to download them, they appear to download, but they will not run. Most of the time the files are setup.exe
Any help would be greatley appreciated.
Thanks

Be really careful with those files, most of them are full of viruses..

If you still want to download them check them with Bitzi...
This thread will explain Bitzi and how to use it...

you must be searching for programs and not music what i do is download
zip files then go to the library and right click on it and run a virus scan on it
if there is a virus in it it will tell you then delete it you got to be careful
downloading programs seems like there is a lot of viruses in them get the zip files and run the virus scan on them yo ucan download bit zipper for free to open
them hope this helps
