Why 197.7 or 851.7 KB zipped files?
 
Whenever I do a search in Limewire I get returns showing zipped files of either 197.7 or 851.7 KB.
I've downloaded these and unzipped them. There's a "setup file " which, when I try to run it gives me an error message..something like, "This file is out of date...Get a new version".
What's going on?

Please DO NOT open these files!!!!!! There's a chance that you now have a virus on your computer. See this thread for lots of info

If you must download .zips, always scan the file with your AV program before opening.

Keep an eye on your computer. If you find that LW starts opening when you don't want it to & you can't keep it closed, go to norbiesworld & he'll be able to help (there's a link in the thread);)
