That's not a good place to download it, you never know what you'll get for sure. Download this one instead, just scroll down and hit the download button.

No problem, just remember next time to not download things from Limewire or similar P2P software unless you have reliable Internet Security to stop any malware. Otherwise, just go to trusted emulation sites or request what you need here on GBX.

also when downloading of the P2P like that check the file size sometimes they have fakes that are just far too small which are more likely viruses

I'm not a fan of McAfee but then again, many things manage to beat Security, there are always higher risks when downloading through P2P software.

Yea, emulation sites are good.
A friend downloaded the project 64 and it was carrying a virus too.

even then some can be a little suspicious,

rule of thumb, the best place to get an emulator is usually from the emulators home page
