How retarded do you have to be to continue sharing a file that you know contains a virus?
Every single program that I have tried to download has been infected. If you have a file that contains a virus, delete the f*%#er, or at least stop sharing it. Morons who share their viruses should be shipped off to france to be with their own kind.

If you'd read this person's other post, you'd see that they have deleted the file (after reporting it to Bitzi).

They've done the right thing.

im sorry if anyone misread my post, i may be new but i woudnt dream of sharing something with a virus, i have only found one and followed all the steps to get rid of it and stop anyone else getting it! As i said, since then i have been extra careful and do not download anything unless i am satisfied it safe for me, and also anyone who shares with me. i didnt say exe files were safe, i only meant i had been lucky with them,

Enough of the personal attacks OK! Forum Rules (click here) Some of you are getting totally off topic. And starting personal insults upon which the mods will take action. I saw no reason for the start of the personal attacks. Leave it at that. Let's move on & no more comments about prior comments. I'm disappointed with a couple of members who should know better.

Ignore files less than 2,000 KB (2 MB) as most are either spam or virus spam. Don't get confused between KB & MB. Start using your Junk filter. It's a dynamic learning filter. For viruses it does take a lot of persistence but it will start to filter them out. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link) Clicking the top of the size column will arrange search results by size. Double-clicking this will arrange them with the largest at the top.
