My sister still uses Limewire to download stuff
Then constantly complains why her computer is infected with spyware and viruses. headshake.gif Limewire is like walking down whore alley and sticking your wiener in everything that you see. If you dont have AIDS yet, give it about 5 minutes. laugh.gif

It's not Limewire. It's windows. Your sister still uses windows.
Windows allows execution of files based upon the last three alphanumeric characters after the ., eg.. .exe, .com, .bat....
Linux and Mac use an executable bit. It's a security layer that prevents applications like firefox or limewire from downloading a benign file like a .jpg and then changing it to a .exe and executing it.
Tell her to make the free switch to Linux and don't use Windows with Limewire... It's been proven again and again that they are incompatable.
