Get limewire and download them, limewire hasnt given me any viruses with all the music I download, so try that. \nThe free wersion is just as good as the one you have to pay for.

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'm pretty sure it wasn't limewire that caused the problem, but it was probably what you downloaded off of limewire.  When you download soemthing off of limewire, it is getting it from another person's computer.  If you download a file from someones computer that has a virus, you will have it too, if it was attatched to that file.  The best thing to do is after downloading, search your shared folder with a virus scan.  And make sure you can tell the virus files from the real files when downloading software off of limewire.  I don't have any problems when downloading music off of limewire, but I have gotten viruses from downloading software.

Some applications you downloaded on LimeWire has virus. However, you do need virus protection like AVG Free Edition. You may try uTorrent that's not compliment with viruses. Here's the list of websites you can download MS Office:\nhttp://www.torrentspy.com\nhttp://www.isohunt.com\nand\nhttp://www.thepiratebay.org

most games or other programs you download from limewire are unreliable, and contain viruses and spyware\n\nhave the file scanned by an antivirus and an antispyware software before installing; even then it may not be the real game\n\nto install, you have to find the file you downloaded in your download folder, and run the executable setup (.exe)

Limewire is only a p2p sharing software, it does not identify what a file is. It simply returns a search, downloads the files. That is all what it does. \n\nnow, many people have been saying that Limewire spreads viruses....MY RESPONSE TO THEM :- LOOK BEFORE DOWNLOADING.\n\nDon't download stuff that you have no idea about \n\nDon't download exe, bin, zip, rar, iso files that are less than 100KB... \n\nhave the most lates virus defenitions loaded on your pc before downloading any stuff.\n\ndont download porn movies less than 1000KB. They contain windows media player plugin virus.\n\nCaution is the prevention.. that does not apply only to Limewire. \n\nYou can get a virus even through normal browsing of the internet, why only limewire.!!

Be very careful of downloading any software from a P2P website as most carry some kind of virus. Is it really worth saving 30 dollars to take that kind of a chance? Been there done that learned my lesson!

My advice...uninstall it.  Limewire like other p2p programs comes bundled with adware and spyware.  Not good.
