Im really paranoid about viruses and spyware, so i didnt want to download limewire again since it screwed my comp up really bad last time.  I recently got it again after i heard that the program itself was "spyware free".

Now when im using avast to scan the files that ive downloaded off limewire, it comes up with a list of every file that i got from limewire (and some other programs like my antispyware stuff) and says that it was unable to scan them. Is there any other way i can use avast to check the songs for virsues or do i have to switch to AVG or norton?
