Unhappy Virus W32.Alcra.B

I tried to download and install 4 different programs... they all contained the above virus...

Don't know much about limeware but I am concerned.

Can you please tell me if there are programs without viruses ?

Looking for Dreamwaver; Adope Photoshop

I suggest you first learn to spell the name of the software you want to get for "fr33!!1". My next suggestion would be getting some replacement software that is actually free. If you cannot or don't want to pay for those, you don't need them and certainly don't deserve them.

This is as in real life: If you don't play in the mud, it's by far less likely to get infected.

Thumbs down Spelling etc...

The tone of your answer is quite rude. First, spelling: my first language is french. Can you speak or more than that, write in french. Probably not. So it was just a spelling / typo mistake. Second, I usually pay for all my softwares, I am not into copying. This time, before I purchase a 1 000 $ software, I just wanted to try it and see if it was the one I need.
Third, before you answer, maybe you should read your reply and be a little more helpful than judging.
First and last time I use limewire or the forum, if everyone is as rude as you, I'd rather not use it. I was not here to be insulted, just asking questions.

Hi jokieva,

There are loads of infected or junk files around now, be careful with downloading:

Sounds like your AV program's working well Spyware & adware programs are a good idea, too.

Not to insult you, but please don't mention names of items you're downloading. Here are the forum rules
