The orange warning banner with the padlock was added because there's a bogus LW update showing up in search results. It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.
The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video
What happens when you try to download music...do files sit there & do nothing (not move to the download pane) or do they sit connecting for ages & then need more sources forever?
If it's the first scenario, follow the advice here.

If it's the second scenario, sounds like fake files. Check out these threads for advice & tips (Bitzi!!).
