After Canada came in with their copy write law, a lot of songs are tough to find. Sure go ahead and download it but also remember viruses and do not buy pro! There is no difference other than a pop up.

Answer 14

idk wtf is with all these people saying it will give you a virus...

Yeah.. its safe to download, but if your going to use it for music/video... you will need to turn ALL SHARING OPTIONS OFF. If you leave them on, that makes you extremely vulnerable to being caught. P.S. The sharing options are under the "tool" tab on the top of the screen, after selectind tools go to "options" then you will see how to change it from there. I have been using limewire for years.....and downloaded thousands and thousands of songs and movies without any viruses or trojans... all you have to do to avoid these viruses is watch the size of the file your downloading... such as most music files are anywhere from 2000 - 8000 kb...and movies anywhere from 300MB to 1400MB. Example: if your going to download a music file....and its only 73kb.....DONT DO IT lol.... only stupid people who dont know what they are doing download the viruses

Answer 15

You can download it.Limewire actually doesn't give you viruses upon installation.It is only the file that you've downloaded gives you viruses. Just beware of what you are downloading. Avoid those files that are zip,rar and exe files. These files often brings viruses and infect your computer.

Answer 16

Since Limewire is P2P, it's not illegal to have it or use it. It's only illegal to use it to download music which you didn't pay royalties for. And that's the thing that everyone does with it. And they aren't going to arrest you for it, there are too many people in the world committing p****y for them to arrest individual people.

Answer 17

nothing bad will come strictly from LimeWire, but you might want a good spyware/ virus program to scan the music you download.  I personally prefer Morpheus, it is much easier to use and usually has more music.  I have only had one or two incidents where i picked something up, but AVG picked it up and deleted it when i scanned the music. no big.

Answer 18

Its not illegal to have it, its just illegal to use it. I would NEVER EVER EVER download anything .exe .msi or ANYTHING that is not .mp3 .wav .ogg or any other AUDIO Extension. Not even video because that could launch links to dirty sites. Get it for music if you must. But if you want movies and programs. Then your gonna need a bigger boat.

Answer 19

Limewire is a sweet program. Don't worry about the trails unless your totally sharing everything and leaving your computer for like years at a time. Watch out with DLing tooo many movies at a time. I would actually use bittorrent for that kinda stuff. I do use limewire for music and really once i get my song i use it ipod it then maybe dump it unless i need it u kno? get an external HD also that might help stick it on there and take it off your downloading folder so theres no trace back to Limewire. Dont be scared eveyone does it well most people that i kno even... haha
