Is Limewire illegal and is there any way you could get a virus from the songs you download?

i had limewire for a while but after a couple of months my computer got all screwed up. my parents said it was all limewire's fault, and now i agree. Do bitlord and Torrents instead. it takes a little getting used to but it is much safer and faster. technically limewire is only illegal if you share your music with others and you could definately get a virus or some very nasty spyware.

First - Limewire, the program, is NOT illegal. Downloading MP3's from other users IS.
Second - You cannot get a virus from an MP3. PERIOD!
