Default Is there a virus in LImewire

I would appreciate some feedback on this matter.

I have downloaded Limewire and my virus checker (Bit Defender) claims that it contains the following viruses. Their names are exactly as listed with both of the full stops (periods).

Application.Limewire.A and
Application.Limewire.C

I have not been able to find out anything about this alleged virus at Bit Defender nor on the net.

My other virus checker F-Prot for Windows does not report this virus.

As an alternative I have just downloaded another peer2peer program called Cabos for Windows (from Japan) which claims to use the Limewire format.

Bit Defender reports that this installation file also contains exactly the same two viruses.

It sounds very much like this may be a false alarm but I am not gamed to take the risk of installing either of them until I have some feedback.

Can any one comment?

TIA
