Some questions about Lime Wire????

Question

Does it slow your computer down bad and give you viruses?

Answer 1

if you are downloading a lot of things of limewire it does slow your computer down not that much but it does only while you are downloading a lot of things but after you close limewire it should be going normal and sometimes some things in limewire do have viruses so watch out i hope this helped you out

Answer 2

It can slow down your computer when you download too many files at the same time. Every download takes a little away of your internet speed.

What I means is,  when you do a search, do not do more than 5 downloads at the same time.

Limewire does not give you viruses.  The user of limewire can however. by downloading fake files read viruses.

You should realize, that p2p programs have a lot of those fake files.

When you do a search, you always see a lot of small files and when you think about that, you should know, that hose files are too small to be a song. Therefore those small files are very likely the fake files.

Download  files larger than 2500/3000kb, make sure that your anti virus is up to date, and the risk of getting infected is minimal.

Answer 3

I haven't used it in a while so I can't remember how bad it was, but yeah, it does slow down your computer, especially if you've got multiple downloads going on. As for viruses, you can get them or spyware. I didn't get anything too bad, but I did get a lot of fake files. If you use it then be smart and cautious and make sure to update/use a virus scanner.
