Anti-virus - How can I check files BEFORE downloading ? - BITZI is the answer ! Seems there should be a way to warn others of malicious download. Of the last 20 downloads, AVG found 15 of them infected with trojans of one kind or another, and was unable to clean the infected file. Maybe this feature could be added to the next release of Limewire? |

Hiya and welcome ! What you would like to see already exists ! In most of the Gnutella Network p2p clients that are around today there is incorporated a simple function... Different names are used for the 'service', but they are all based around the general idea of Bitzi Ticket or Check Bitzi or whatever... What is Bitzi ? To use Bitzi you normally right-click on a search result (or active download) and a menu will appear which includes the option(s) mentioned above. Oooops ! Thanks to the genius of Remoc I must add this... In LimeWire the steps to use Bitzi are > Right-click on file > Advanced > Lookup File With Bitzi. Left click on that and a new browser window will open which is Bitzi. It is a wonderful system which has only one flaw... It is dependent on US to 'feed' it with honest and accurate info. Yup... It's another of those things that only work if we participate. To learn more and and to start being able to 'feed' Bitzi and not just 'use' it, click on > Bitzi - Check Files Before Download ! which you will find in my signature below. Please use it !
