Yes in theory they can although its very unlikely as most virus in Limewire are probably intended to infect pc's also songs and videos cant carry virus.

no the mac in its long life had only 1 virus. its a very locked down system. so your mac is safe. PC are prone to viruses more because there are alot of open doors in it to make it more user friendly with a wide spectrum of programs.

Any type of computer is Vulnerable to Viruses once they are connected to the internet. Makes no difference if it is Mac, Dell, HP, Compaq, Emachine, Toshiba, or any other type.

They can but not likely. Most viruses are designed to attack PCs. Files like .exe won't work on a Mac so you're safe.

Anything can get a virus.
So few people use MAC's that virus writers don't get a big enough bang to bother with them. However it is still very possible.

I wouldn't think so. It's almost impossible to get a virus on a Mac.
