We had limewire and it shut our computer clear down. It cost us $98 to get the virus removed.

There are some viruses that are particular to Limewire. they are going to be named as something which you extremely prefer to acquire and once you execute it, it acts like a corrupted record. you already know that that is handed off because of the fact once you next turn on your laptop, Limewire will load up and once you attempt and close it down, it is going to easily start up back. that's that in case you have not got a scourge protector. in case you have a scourge protector, you are able to no longer have a concern, inspite of the undeniable fact that it is the cost you pay for downing something which you're predicted to pay for. good success P.S. i've got in no way had a concern with song or vid's

Our Limewire works ok. Haven't tried getting viruses from downloading. Sometimes though, it's works slowly.

The only thing that works on Limewire is the short porno stuff. I'd stay away.

My son used it on his computer and screwed it all up. It took me a while to fix it but it's fine now. I told him not to use that again but you know what will happen.
