Does anybody use limewire???

Question

my subscription with napster just expired and have heard that you can download music/ movies on limewire for free! is this true? and if so, can your computer get a virus from it??

Answer 1

Yes, you can download music and movies for free, but on the downside you can get computer viruses and other rather serious problems from it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

no piolet and bitcomet only

Answer 3

it's true and yes, you can get a virus from downloading from them.

I use it but I have virus protection and scan my computer weekly.

It's not often that I find a virus or malware, but it does happen every once in a while.

Also: Bearshare and Kazza are the worst programs to use with p2p downloads. Limewire has it's risks, but is overall the best.

Answer 4

yes it is true that you can download music and movies for free from limewire but it is mostly illegal and you get a ton of viruses if your not careful  

Answer 5

Yes, limewire is alright  but i suggest BEARSHARE  its really good, i have received about 3 trojans and some viruses from data and music from LIMEWIRE...  

Answer 6

limewire is a possibly illegal P2P program where you can download anything from music to movies to programs absolutely free.  it is not the safest due to its abundance of p**n that appears in search results and has possibilties of viruses, but does have the ability to get the job done.

Answer 7

yes, yes...its not downloading for free its someone else's  files that they leave 'open' to limewire for others to see and download, and is what you will also do when you download limewire unless you turn that setting off

ive gotten viruses too, but a new virus program and i was good as new

Answer 8

i used limewire and it was pretty neat. i got a couple of those little viruses everyday. but it was when i got a trojan virus, thats when i knew i couldn't use limewire no more. trust me u don't want 2 go through that. its a pain.  

Answer 9

I will avoid using Limewire for 2 reasons:

1. It is full of viruses

2. The songs/videos are not legit: you might download a song with the name Michael Jackson - Beat it but it actually is Britney Spears - Oops I did it again!People do that all the time!!  and you will get annoyed really fast.

You don't want to get a virus that disables your machine do you?

Answer 10

ya, i've been using limewire forever, and i havn't had any problems. still, make sure you have some type of virus-blocker on your computer, just in case...

Answer 11

Yeah, limewire is free.

And yes, your computer can get a virus from it. You just hafta be careful about which files you download. Oh and btw, the more stuff you download, the slower it makes your computer. Just a heads up.

Answer 12

Answer 17

it is true you can download stuff from it but after a while my computer started messing up and i deleted limewire from it permanately and my computer started working fine

Answer 18

Yes, you can download music/movies on Limewire for free, but they're not legal downloads most of the time. And yes, your computer can definitely get a virus from it. I stopped using Limewire because of this. I could also make your computer run slower.

Answer 19

i use limewire and my computer is fine

but i have a mac lol

but yes you can download movies, videos and music for free

Answer 20

yes but dont get limewire get frost wire and before downloading anything

right click on the thing your planning to download click advanced then click on lookup file with bitzi and it will show you what other people think who have also downloaded it

and it'll tell you if its a virus or not =] thats what i always do

Answer 21

yeah i use it on a regular basis some is free some is not and of course anytime you download anything you have the risk of getting a virus or a worm piggybacking in so always have a good virus scanner on your computer

Answer 22

Get Frostwire.  Its the same thing and its better than limewire because limewire is loaded with viruses

my old computer got one from it when i had it for 2 months

Frostwire is really great

Answer 23

Nah I don't use it anymore.

It is illegal and some people get caught for using it:

Answer 24

depends what other programs you use and how you download it on the virus thing. but yes you can download video&music. its illegal some places though. =[

but i like it still
