Can't open program.

draggon_9 · #1 (**permalink**) April 1st, 2006

Every time I try to open a downloaded program a window pops up and says it can't be opened for security reasons. Did I miss something? I'm a newbie at this. Thanks.

since .exe programs may contain virii, LW won't automatically open those.

Scan them with your virus scanner before opening.

I ran my virus program and wow, I picked up 48 worms and trojans. It had my CPU running at 100% but fixed the problem. I'll be more careful now when I run LW. BY the way it did solve my problem. Thanks.
