no, their is no way to protect viruses from limewire but they are easy to delect since you already know what you downloaded and were the virus is just delete the file and empty your recycle bin. the reason you can't protect viruses from limewire is because when you first download limewire the firewall asks you if you want to allow limewire into your system which you have to allow or else you couldnt use limewire.
but if you want use a safe type of limewire: 1st get limewire and click progames and type in limewire pro then download limewire pro which is easyer and fast and virus free. ever since a got the PRO i havent goten virures.

Virii do not come from Limewire. Malware comes from being on-line without protection. Without antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall, you can be infected within 10 minutes of going on the internet. Why would your dad let you go on-line but not let you pay for protection? Here are 3 free downloads you need, to protect yourself while surfing, downloading, reading e-mails, playing games, and everything else you do online. And learn to keep them all up-dated!
