Limewire is a good software, but it has somethings in it which registers itself in the spyware, virus and firewalled site, so you need to remove limewire from all these in order for it to connect to the network, that is all, its that simple.\nCHEERS!!!

It sure might be dangerous to have lime wire on your computer..Lime wire by itself do not have any spyware or virus in it..But,limewire can be used to obtain your msn or yahoo passwords..just be sure that you do not share your  windows rootdrive ..means..in the share folder option, do not put c: drive..put any other folder in any other drive..\nIf you put c drive..other users can search for yahoo.ini or similar and can find your encrypted password..it is just a matter of minutes for someone who knows abt computers to decrypt your password...

Limewire is full of viruses. Stick to either HTML downloads, FTP sites or if you are a bit more familiar with your computer, try the torrent networks.\n\nuTorrent is a fairly easy to use torrent client.

use ARES, it may not have as many things to download but it seems to have a whole lot less viruses.  Limewire is infested with Trojan Viruses.

You really should. This is because harmful viruses and other badstuff can infect your comp. through Limeware.

It's possible, but unlikely you would get into trouble from downloading some music from limewire.  It's true you can easily compromise security if you're not careful.  BUT, if you are good with how to control your firewall, spyware programs, and virus programs, you should be ok.  I mean life's too short to be worrying about "big brother" watching all the time.  Thanks for the good question.  Peace....

no not use limewire it is full of virus and i have had to reformate friendS computerS 9 times now due to limewire, you will just lose what you have download in a few weeks along with all your work and setting, and programs, everything!!!!! avoid limewire, download legal or use bit torrents (I do not agree with illegal activity but this is the safe way to illegally download)

well Limewire itself isn't illegal, but people can use it to download copyrighted material illegally.  So technically they haven't done anything wrong.  It's like using a car to commit a crime - it's not the car maker's fault so they can't shut them down.

Viruses, no.  Spyware, yes.  Anything that you download from limewire may contain viruses, but the program itself will not.  However, you do get tons of Spyware from the program.  Say hello to pop-ups and slower processor speeds.

I have personally used limewire . Its quite safe though having a firewall installed would be a better bet as it s P2P network and accessing someones computer and other files is not a remote possibility. With a firewall you can be safe.\n\nA hint I would like to give you to avoid viruses etc. is always pay close attention to the size of the file you are downloading. If your downloading a music file download one which is reasonably big and which has many multiple downloads.\n\nThere have been many instances when I have seareched for a file generally music and got only one result . A file thats 149.1 Kb in size. This is a VIRUS or crap Do not download these.\n\nThats all I can say, personally I am very happy with Limewire .

Ignore the nay-sayer commentary above - the main critics are usually those who are simply too stupid to use the software safely. Limewire is just as safe as any other p2p application - just always exercise a little common sense.\n\nAnyhow, two things to check.\n*make sure your firewall is not blocking it\n*check your filter settings to see what is being hidden in your searches\n\napart from these, it may well be that there ARE NO search results for the file you were tying to locate...some things are just not very commonly shared\n\nOh- word of advice - if you can get hold of Limewire Pro, you'll be much happier :)

it is true that you need virus scanner etc. all you need to do is go to limewire.com, go to download limewire, and then follow the instructions and there you go!

Well, no. Limewire Pro maybe, but not the free version. It has weaker virus protection. If you download anything other than music, really, such as programs, and especially pictures, viruses are bound to hit. I used to have it, but I don't anymore due to a problem in my computer, but not from Limewire. Unless you are confident and have a bit of luck, then yes, it could be trustworthy. Just don't overuse it, and don't download stuff if it says it's corrupted, unless you're desperate.
