Question VIRUS and TROJAN WARNING


Since my last update to Limewire 4.14.8 on 8/20/07 at 5.25 PM there is a orange/yellow bar across the top of the search results stating: Only search results with a ( picture of a lock) are offical Limewire communications. If I click on the link "more info" it takes me to a page called VIRUS and TROJAN WARNING --which states:

We have received many warnings of viruses and trojans pretending to be updates to LimeWire in your search results. You can only be sure a search result is direct from Lime Wire, LLC if it has a (LOCK) in the quality column.
If you have run such an update in the past, LimeWire may be corrupted. You must update with the current official version available here to guarantee you are using the latest official LimeWire.
Also note that LimeWire connects you to other computer users like yourself in order to share files, so all of your search results are files from other users like yourself (i.e. - your peers). The only exceptions to this rule are search results with a lock or search results from spammers/advertisers. Learn more about the Gnutella network and peer-to-peer file sharing.

If I click on the (here link) above it pulls up a download box with the following:
Limewirewin.exe Type application 3.22MB FROM www9.LimeWire.com [ (notice the 9) in the address??]
and would download what appears to be the same thing I have now. I have ckecked my present limewire 4.14.8 with my antivirus and it does not detect any viruse
I don't know which is BOGUS. The one I have now or the one I am told to download????
I tried to get some help from the Limewire site but I could not get an answer from them.
Can you lelp me out with this problem ????
