Limewire Problem Help?

Question

i recently had to remove everything from my laptop because limewire had kinda hacked in

but i accepted songs from people that got there music from limewire can that do any problems to my laptop again ?

Answer 1

try getting frostwire..much better..

Answer 2

If you have Limewire...you are bound to get viruses and c**p.

Also by letting people have a designated folder to get music from your laptop means that your laptop is easier to hack.

I suggest just getting iTunes or downloading off Bigpond.

Don't Pirate music dude.

PS: by the way...people can encode viruses into music..

Answer 3

Besides encoding viruses into music, you should be fine getting mp3's from a friend.

However, unless you COMPLETELY reformat your computer, limewire messed it up. I know this may not be the best answer because its bad news, but installing limewire puts permanent backdoors (major security risks) on the computer. The only way you can get rid of it is by reformatting, which deletes everything that has ever happened on your computer.

I'm just assuming this is music that is legal to download from unsigned bands.

Answer 4

Don't steal any music. Then you wouldn't worry about these problems...I learned the hard way on my old computer.

Answer 5

if you have a mac you should be fine

macs cant get viruses from the internet, someone has to directly upload one to you.

if you have a pc, then delete all limewire files! why would you take a chance on getting another virus? chances are it will happen again. just find a better site (my friends use bittorrent)
