i like to seek and download free songs from the internet,
and mostly i use the limewire program
and recently i upgraded my classic limewire to limewire pro
of course a pro service will give a better and safer service right ?
but apparently it's not
i searched and downloaded some songs last week using the pro one, and it resulted a virus
it's very surprising
the file has a normal size like other mp3 songs,
but when i move the pointer to the file, the duration shows that the song is only 1 second long ?
that's weird, to me.. hehee
when i tried to drag the song to the itunes, it didn't appear on the list
then i tried to double click the file, and suddenly my anti-virus program appear
and the file resulted as a trojan virus.. damn !!
i seek other songs, and resulted as a virus, again .. huhh
anybody understand the matters ?
please share it with me, hehee
i'm not really understand with those technology
thanks a lot for sharing .. ^^

Yes this is a great problem with limewire, I also had instances when I got the whole file downloaded and it ended as a virus.
I prefer now torrents, though all are not safe. Actually P2P is sharing files, so it is always risk to share files with other networks.

i've been a victim of this countless times! limewire sometimes allow virus so i think it helps to have a good anti-virus around to aid you. =)
