Excellent tips! Worth a Sticky I think.

BTW LW is experimenting with known spam download hash filters with their present LW 5.2 beta series. LW will automatically delete any such file 'known' to be a virus at completion of download & then mark it as spam in search results. This then prevents people unknowingly sharing known virus spam files. And also protects their computer systems of course.
