Beware !!! Bad Files
 

There is a file you can download from limewire called

Ebay Auction Sniper 3.1.zip file size 851.7Kb

IT IS A WORM

w32.alcra.b


W32.Alcra.B is a worm that propagates through file-share networks and attempts to disable several programs on the compromised computer.


I did not find a topic matching this problem . please allow it to be read.

thank you

maybe create a feature for limewire that will allow us to ban or block users with files like these.

That file has many different names and is very well known to those on the forum. There are some others out there you should be aware of the link below might help and keep you from downloading any more.

When you do a search at the top of the search screen you will see where it says size click on it it will arrange your search results by size thus you should be able to avoid the unwanted sizes.
