DON'T TOUCH THEM!! The database was infiltrated and all of these 851.7kb
files are viruses!!

They are not in the music/mp3 files, but in the programs and perhaps others.
I read about this on one of the mp3 news groups and checked Limewire out on
a friend's computer and there were a ton of these!!

If you stick to the mp3 files, you should not have a problem. It boggles me
that Limewire apparently has done nothing about this, but I have no idea
when it started.....well before Xmas IIRC.

WinMX has had its problems thanks to the US Gov't threats, and is rather
crippled. Kazaa is full of spyware. Don't know much about eMule. I have
heard that Ares is a good P2P proggie....but I don't download music anymore
so haven't tried it.
