Someone answered another question for me and said I would be warned about executible files when downloading on Limewire.
What does that mean?

Executable files have a .EXE extension. You want to be extremely careful when double-clicking on a file with that extension from Limewire. I have often seen that many of these files contain viruses or spyware. If you have virus scanning software, some are pretty good at catching a Trojan virus before it executes. You can try to scan the file first also to check for viruses or problems. Or best yet, stay away from .EXE files on Limewire.

an executable file is one as soon as you click on it will open up the programme inside and immediately start to instal it onto your system ...if there are any viruses or other nasties embeded in it then it is too late to stop it ......
files which have " .exe " at the end of the title are executable ...
