Default Continued problem (infected files)

I've tried to download several songs and even after one showed it contained some sort of Trojan, I tried again last night with a different song.


But when I tried to play it in Media Player I get a message that " The file you are attempting to play has an extension (mp3) that does not match the format. Playing it may result in unexpected behavior.

When I say open it anyway get a window wanting me to save a file mp3codec.exe. I will not do this.

I've used Limewire before on occasion but NEVER had any issues like this.

I searched the forums but find that also very confusing. I've updated to the latest Limewire version but can't figure out what is going on.

I've noticed several very small files with like 300 or 400 bites and one of those had the Trojan.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or is this a normal issue and I should just stop using Limewire.

I am using Vista Home Premium but doubt that would be the problem?

I would appreciate any idea that would help clear this up.

Thanks.
