A major virus that is been sent through limewire not from downloading songs but something else. There is about ten people we know that have got this major virus. Can anyone give me any information?

If you're worried that limewire is spreading viruses, try this;
http://www.frostwire.com/
Frostwire is an open source version of limewire and is completely spyware/adware free, plus being free itself.
Any virus you get from a file you download and then run though is a risk everyone takes every time they download anything.
Don't use any p2p's that are supported by ads, they are all garbage and full of who knows what these days.
