Will not let me download anything...LIMEWIRE

[T-Cal]

everytime i try to search for a name and click search.....a yellow caution bar comes to the top saying: "Only search results with a security lock are official LimeWire communications" Then its says more info...and i tried adding limewire to exceptions for my firewall....still the same results...Need help really bad. Thank you

[wondering why]

That padlock notice you see at the top of your searches is to notify you of a particular search result that contains a virus...
It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates...
