Also, be aware that getting virii form LW, heck any P2P application out there, can be prevented by a little prudence. What you dld matters. Learn to avoid (if you can) stuff like .exe and .zip files and it is best to first scan (with an antivirus) any of these type of files before opening them if your antivirus software doesn't have an auto-protect feature.

Also, I think that your helper is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, I've encountered only one virus through LW (and one might say that I was sort of trying hard to get one) and Norton didn't eliminate it, but put the file in Quarantine and eliminated it later. No prob.

Know also that you can't get virus from music and video files.
