I don't know but my limewire connection has seriously been sucking lately. I can't download and it slows down my computer a lot.

what ever antivrus application your working would desire to %. up an outbreak besides, you merely would desire to be careful, maximum mp3 information are 2.5 - 5 Mb in length or better if an album, any tiny information around 500Kb would desire to be prevented, block you upload ports so knowone can e look on your laptop and upload from you and go away little surprises, I do. i comprehend it meant to be P2P, yet doing that still quickens your downloads as human beings importing place a stress on your components as nicely. I truly have on no account recieved an outbreak that hasn't beed detected from limewire, in basic terms mp3 information that may not play and that i pattern as i'm downloading. Oh I truly have used Norton's because 2002 and it has failed me as quickly as in 2007 and that became no longer on limewire, wager that announces something, for a application that no person likes, I in basic terms use the AV, no longer suite or 360, I now use Norton 2009 and locate it very solid.

You should have no problems being able to download limewire with any antivirus program due to the fact that limewire is a legit program, and doesnt contain any viruses. At the most, the antivirus program would scan the limewire.exe download file and then let you proceed with the download after scanning it.

Yes! sometimes P2P can have spyware! and sometimes files you download from P2P servers like Limewire! people bind viruses into popular files! Music, mpg softwares(.exe files)
And your firewall catches these files and think of them as viruses! not all time its right! but thats what firewalls do.

It can but your anti-virus should give you an option to be allowed to permit limewire.
I have Norton and it does.
