Answer 3

You can safely use Limewire as long as you have a good Internet security suite. Mine does catch viruses from time to time when I use Limewire. If your computer gets infected with viruses because of Limewire, it is because your anti-virus program isn't catching them.

Answer 4

Limewire is horrible. Look into Soulseek.

Answer 5

lime-wire is very slow suppose you have 256 kpbs per second but you will downlaod in limewire for 64 kbps

Answer 6

Yes limewire is a good program,

Limewire does not have viruses, but can easily give you a virus.

The point is, that p2p programs have fake  (dummy) file. Files pretending to be songs or movies, but are viruses.

Always when you do a search for music or videos you see those small files. Files much too small to be a song or movie. So what are they doing there. They are there in the hope you download them and get your pc infected.

Start your download with files higher than 2500/3000kb.

Because nothing is 100% safe on the internet, make sure your anti virus is up to date, just in case

Here you can download Limewire Pro for free

Answer 7

Limewire is okay,but you wanna make sure you have a very good anti-virus that will alert you before the file is actually downloaded,for it may have a virus.

Answer 8

Limewire will fill your downloads with viruses espeacially movies and programs put on by torrent protesters, musics ok. If you want to download torrents more safely uninstall limewire and let utorrent download them from pirate bay.

Answer 9

I used to use Limewire. I don't anymore. I use uTorrent and the website Isohunt or Pirate Bay to find what I want. I haven't had a virus or trojan in a long, long time. Isohunt is best because people write comments on stuff so you know it's not fake.
