No Limewire is NOT safe! It will slow down your computer a lot and chances are you might download a virus when you download something from Limewire. I used Limewire for a short time and it made my computer really slow and gave it a few viruses. I don't recommend using Limewire at all!

Limewire is bad news..full stop...as pc technicians we remove it daily from folks pc's...spyware infections from this program almost always means your windows will become so corrupted that a format of the HDD is the only resort. Stay away from all shareware programs,crack websites etc to avoid spyware

Downloading free file sharing software from www.limewire.com is safe AND legal. It's what files you choose to download and what you choose to do with them that can get you into less-than-legal territory. I personally use Limewire for particular mp3 downloads, but I have run into trouble if I try downloading games and other programs like that. Do make sure you have a good updated antivirus program running, and definitely don't download anything that looks fishy. That's pretty obvious. Limewire has served me well for lots of downloads of songs. It's easy to use and almost all the songs are easy to find.

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.

When I started using Limewire, it wouldn't ever find a connection. I was super frustrated and thought I tried everything as it turns out not only do you have to turn off Windows Firewall, but if you are using a internet providers that admisinisters it's own firewall and antivirus program, then you have to diasble that firewall as well. There are a lot and pros and cons of course of shutting down the firewalls.\n\nPro: you can use Limewire\nCon: almost everything you download will freely enter your pc with a bunch of tracking cookies and other horrible stuff undetected, because your firewall will be disabled.

I have been using limewire for a few years now and I havent had any trouble with viruses.  You can always scan the files with your antivirus software before opening them up.   The only problem I had was certain videos have major pop ups and spyware sometimes so beware of that most of those files were mov files.

Use this free p2p file sharing software.  It's called Ares and you can download it from http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/  I've been using it for a while now and downloads fast without viruses.  Also it has a nice user interface.  Don't use limewire.  It's complicated and I've encountered viruses before.

yes and no, i have been using it since it came out about six years ago. i download alot of porn and music (15-40 gigs) movies and what not, i usually have to wipe my hd every six months or so because i accadentaly download some "mislabled" spy ware . if you just keep a look out for weard file tipes e.g. not mp3, mpeg, or jpg. then you will be fine. i think that it is a prutty good trade off about thirty minuts of reprogramming for six months of free shit. and they are only looking for the people that put the stuff on there not download it, so when you install it and it askes if it can look for files on your computer tell it no. \n\nthis is all i can thank of right now hope it helps\n\np.s. make shure that you get it from the website www.limewire.com otherwise you could end up getting screwed.  if you need help or anything you can email me mhallday1@yahoo.com

Dude.... LIMEWIRE F-ing SUCKS. Dont mess with them or Kazaa or the entire Gnutella network. Its packed full of spyware and tracking programs. Im not paranoid, I just know this for a fact because I got busted for copyright infringement and piracy a few years ago from using them for P2P connections. Also, make sure you check all the hidden files those programs leave behind. When you download using them it places multiple copies of the files into other folders you dont know about. Thats how it got me. Just thought you shold know.

If you dont know what you're doing I would leave limewire alone.  Twice I have got bad viruses on my PC from limewire files - the last one was so bad I had to throw the computer away and buy a new one.  Also it is illegal - not that people care.  I would never use it again xx

try downloading adaware- that usually will find that as a potentially harmful program. also you can use search under the start menu and type in limewire and anything that is found delete.
