Viruses In Every Download

Postby jpowerw » 29 May 2010 18:19

I'm still getting viruses (see below) in about 99% of my downloads. My uploads are clean and I find this so unfair.
And I'm only getting one download to about 15-20 uploads. Why are my downloads so slow?
It can take weeks to download one file. This has to change.

Thank you,

Here are my last 4 downloads: viruses included. Microsoft Security Essentials found these:

If you insist on trying to download software do a search on a nonsense word first and keep that search
while you do your real search. There is a bunch of trojans out there that are pretending to be LimeWire
5.3.6 and they reply to every search.

If you haven't installed any security filters yet search the forums and you will find some filters to download.
