Default I'm not ungrateful but..........

I like Limewire, I really do.
It's simple to use and I get to see films that I wouldn't normally go out and buy, not to mention the back up copies of software.
But here's the thing. ...........
When I enter a search word and get dozens of "hits" for it, i tend to download from the line with the most Stars and the highest number on the left, hoping that will be a speedier download.
I have just downloaded one such file with 4 stars and 63 donors.
It had a virus in the file!!
Surely the people KNEW the virus was there so why offer it as a file for download?
Why not just delete the file once they found the virus instead of passing it on to other users?
