I've used Shareaza for a long time; it works great and has no spyware or adware. I decided to give Limewire a try, but it was detected as adware, so I didn't see any reason to bother with it.

Downloading any free music provider program can risk your computer for viruses. Not only that but some of the music you download can also carry a virus with it. Limewire used to be a really cool and easy program to download music from but everytime I attempt to download a song nowadays, it downloads and then plays absolutely nothing or only 5 seconds of the song then goes blank. So, I've come to realize paying a little money for music is a whole lot safer and less frusterating than downloading free music.
Try this site, www.gomusic.ru/
it's like 15 cents a song, $1.50 for the whole album, it varies but all you do is sign up, put down some money (I put down $20) so I have $20 worth of music to download, plus they give 30 free songs. I put down the money about 3 months ago and I still have $15 left plus my 30 free songs. All the songs are virus free and are the whole song! Takes about the same amount of time to download each song as it would for Limewire or any other program you use. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone who's fed up with downloading crappy versions of songs.
If you do not want to pay for music (that's the only part that sucks about that web site), try going to download.com and find a better free music provider.
Good luck!

Yeah Limewire is good I used it all the time. The only problem is sometimes it would say one thing and be another. Yes it is possible to get a virus just make sure you have protection against them and you should be good. Most of them is not really harmful just some adware. If you do catch one make sure you delete it right away and run your adware program.

I've has Kazza for a while then switched to limewire. Lime wire is way better because it doesn't have the spy ware attached to it when you download it. I also have never got a virus with limewire. I recommend it!

limewire is a life saver, if it wasn't for limewire i'd be music less, its worth downloading and there are no chances of getting a virus.

Yes, it works great. Make sure you have a good anti-virus program on your computer first. AVG is a good free to download anti-virus program that I have used many years with no problem.

Yes... I just did it again the other day. But you must be careful not to download too many songs it messes up your computer. NO you cant get a viruse from downloading it. It actually pretty legit after that lawsiut involving them. they decided to license some of the material in order for yuo to download it
