Exclamation LimeWire + Viruses?

Does LimeWires some programmes spread viruses? I downloaded a video, and then internet opened and wanted to save a file. I didn't save it, pressed X and then there

comes a window that says Virus spotted, wanna clean documents that have it. I pressed yes, but it can't do it. Can I still use banks, do my computer have a virus or can I

get off just warning?

LW doesn't spread viruses, but there are heaps of infected files being shared on the network. Sometimes people share infected files out of ignorance & sometimes companies deliberately share bad files: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...h-results.html

You need to make sure that you're using a good AV (antivirus) program. Keep it updated & use it to scan any files that you download - before you open them

Check out the threads below for more info.
