Thanks so much for your help, birdy! The stickies helped out a lot and I have also started downloading a few of the recommended programs. Will these programs automatically check for viruses, or will I need to run them manually everytime I use limewire? Also- How do you scan files before downloading them? I understand about checking the size, but are there more ways to make sure that a file does not contain a virus besides that? if so, how do you do that?
again, thanks for your help!
