Now I've been getting alot of them detected as I try to download
music files.
I think Limewire needs to clean up their databases.
Alot of bad stuff in there!
BTW I've even upgraded to version 4.18.3

Coffeemug, I think you may need to do a little research here. LW has no central server. Everything that is available for download is from the Gnutella Network and NOT from LW.
LW is nothing more than an avenue or client that gives you the opportunity to download and upload.
Everything that is put on the Network is from members like you and me.
It is your responsibility to do what ever it takes to make sure you don't get bitten by the Bug.
As long as you use LW and or many other Gnutella clients, you will always have the opportunity to get Infected, Spammed, or even download KP if you're not on your toes.
I guess it's the Price you Pay as long as you use P2P.
