Default Normal LimeWire Pro Behavior?

Hi, when I click on the installer it can take 35 seconds to bring up the first step. Is this normal for everyone, or could it be infected with a virus? Also, the installer icon isn't green like LimeWire BASIC, but instead a box with a window in the background. Have I downloaded the wrong version? That's all, cheers.

If you haven't downloaded it from here:
http://www.limewire.com/ , and paid $ 18.88 for the pro version, then it definitely is a faked one.....

Yes I did, but was wondering if the installer was damaged (35 seconds seems a tad long to startup). I've recently had viruses on my computer and was wondering if it could have been infected also. Should the icon be green? There might be something wrong if it should be.

Using Firefox it looks like that until completely downlding it when it changes to the Lime icon. And on the desktop it should look like the green & yellow icon as such.

So it sounds like something might be wrong. Check the details for the installer. Right-click & choose properties. What does it say about it?

Thanks for that picture, Lord. The properties are exactly the same, but for a few missing bytes. I've done a virus scan and cleared the last of the crap off my computer, and I'll just have to re-download. Was worried that I may have initiated something from an infected file (if that's possible). Thanks for your help.
