I've reinstalled limewire. This time when I downloaded an mp3 KIS reported this virus:





The name of this virus is: Trojan-Downloader.WMA.Wimad.n

KIS does not disinfect the files, it simply delete the mp3 files. According to the various webpages, this trojan contains spywares.

I tried afterwards, to download 20 different music files from limewire and this time, the infecttion rate is set to 100 %.

The actual difference between gnutella and torrent, is that Gnutella can not remove the infected files, while torrent it is easy by the admin to remove torrent which contains the infected mp3 files.
