for some of you guys that got such lousy virus scaners, i think bitdefender is the best. i got mcafee 2006 which came with me dell pc & norton which came with my girlfriends hp pc. downloaded a bunch zip folder and i started have'n problems. ran mcafee 2006, found some viruses, still had problems. uninstalled and installed norton 2006, found some viruses, still had problems.

i decided to look for the best anti virsus software @ pcworld.com (http://www.pcworld.com/article/124475-1/article.html) got bit defender and found so much that mcafee and norton didn't, viruses, ads, hijacks, worms, ect....

just try the free trial and trust me you'll end buy'n it after you use it.

somebody help me please!!a few months ago,before i've read the useful tips here in limewire,forum i've downloaded zip & rar files because of my ignorance.eversince i've downloaded that files,if i open my internet explorer it becomes blank & completely white & about:blank appears in my web browser's home page.well,i can still change the homepage in the internet options but after 2 or 3 days it becomes blank again and that about:blank word appears again.is this some kind of virus or spyware & can someone teach me how to remove this thing cause sometimes when i surf the internet some ads just come from nowhere.my antivirus (e-scan) & anti spywares (ad-aware & spybot) could not detect it.please give me an advice on how to deal with it. thanx in advance!!!

thanx for your immediate reply grandpa. i will visit that website that you posted & i hope i will understand whatever instruction will be given to me by that site cause to tell you the truth im not good in computers.i've read in some forum,not in this forum that it is very hard to remove about:blank & when i try to read the instructions for removing that thing,i have a doubt that i can do it.i've read also in that forum that to remove about:blank the easiest way,scan it with xoftspy which is not free.i tried to download xoftspy & it detects some malware/spyware that is not detected by spybot & ad aware that i have here.but to delete the things that has been scanned by xoftspy,that's it!you have to pay first for some code/key thing.i hope there are still antispyware out there for free which can do the same thing as xoftspy.thanx to all the people here in this forum who gave us computer ignorants unsolicited advice.for me the more i read in this forum,the more i become educated.sorry for my english!!!

It seems you feel people who download software and cracks are pirates and deserve the virus infections they get. True they have no licence and true they steal the program. You on the other hand; I am sure, download only legal music files, I guess.
OH I forgot. those are also not legal and are stolen if downloaded. I suppose the only legal files you can download from limewire are in fact the porn files produced by cracked individuals and most of those I am sure will result in nasty trojans or a virus.
Since you seem to use limewire I wonder where your superior better than thou attitude can come from. There are no legitimate, legal downloads available on any p2p site including this one. You sir are as guilty of piracy and theft as any one else who uses this service. Unless of course you only grab the porn. That is probably legal. Who would claim ownership of that crap.

See i had kazaa four about four years befor they became crappy in the past i did not download anything smaller than 10,000kb because eather it was a wast of time or it was a virus one or the other i did not download them because i new that the would bea pain in my *** so little tip for newbies dont download any thing past 10,000 unless your downloading music but with music same thing dont download any thing past 1,000 it will give a big smack in the face after word.

I found some files with Trojans in them (and I don't mean safe sex), how do I warn Limewire and users? Can Limewire block the user from posting? I have blocked the hosts on my own but don't want others to get the viruses. DO NOT DOWNLOAD FILES 3462 IN SIZE, THEY WILL JUST REDIRECT YOU TO ANOTHER SITE. ALSO, THESE FILES ARE INFECTED:

Thanks!

I just never download anything that has a suspiciously low file size.
