I have just downloaded limewire for the third time. I have gotten viruses two times before from teying to download certain things and now i just belive lime wire is just a virus riden... idk

My question is, when i got to download a program it always says 851.7 kb in a zip folder and that seems to be the pattern each time i get a virus. So, whats up with this and is there a way to avoid getting these viruses and just get what im looking for?

P.S. Im sorry if ive posted this in the wrong place in advance. Im new to the forums.

Sure, ignore all files less than 1 MB (1,000 KB). Also use the junk filter whenever you see a file that is less than 1 MB yet, should be larger. Any program is going to be multiple MB's. A major program could be between 50 MB (50,000 KB) to 700 MB. See Arrange search results by size (click on link) so your largest search results sit at the top of the list. If there's nothing over 1,000 KB then obviously you'll need to vary your search & keep searching.

Also scan all files with anti-virus & anti-spyware/adware programs before attempting to open. Perhaps you should see WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link)
