You can keep it. It's probably recognizing it as a virus because limewire is a p2p program. _________________

| Just give out a screenshot, also tell the name of the virus, and check the song using http://www.virustotal.com. |

| Well if it's from limewire, then it could actually have a virus. I haven't used it in ages, so I don't know how safe the files being shared are. |

| Usually about the top 3 files (the 3 first from up to down) are virus or add's .. Don't download them, the rest SHOULD be clean ... But, you can't tell if it's .rar etc.. |

Exactly
Songs -> LimeWire
Anything else (except movies) -> Torrent
Movies -> Ninjavideo.net |

Any P2P network will have fakes and viruses, and Bittorent is no different. |

WMAs, WMVs and MOVs can actually have viruses embedded in them in the form of exploits, most of which aren't stopped by the new updates of their respective players. I avoid these formats like the plague. I've only ever had a very few MP3s with exploits in, but they were all player dependant. I use Satsuki Media Player which has its own internal audio/video codecs, and is as such pretty much immune to exploits stored in any standard MPEG audio or video format.
I use Ares and LimeWire for my music, but usually I use GoMusic or iTunes to get my music legally without paying extortionate amounts. |
