Mcafee is not a good virus scan anyhow, but if it was going to protect your computer from viruses it would indeed get rid of the ones from limewire.

It will not prevent viruses unless Mcafee has the virus identified. Always be careful downloading files from the Internet.
And a firewall will not prevent a virus that you download as suggested above.

it should do, when you are downloading from limewire if the file contains a virus limewire tells you the file is corrupt and gives you the option to stop downloading the file

Good Luck
p.s. I have used both McAfee and Norton and neither has ever gotten rid of virus for me. The ones above have.
