The padlocks only apply to Limewire updates. Don't download any LW updates unless they have a padlock next to them.

Cheers

Its a good idea to scan all files downloaded from lime wire. None of them are guaranteed to be virus free. the # symbol indicates the number of connected users sharing the file.

With your virus scanning software. If you don't have one, you should get one asap. Here's one called AVG. It's free, but, has limited features. AVG Free Advisor: Installation files & documentation

Yes McAfee works great. Have a look around at some of the other forums. I've found tons of useful info here since I joined.
