Thats impossible. You're going to have viruses from limewire no matter what. All websites of where to download the limewire program SHOULD be virus free. My advice to you would be to download BitLord (a downloading program) and use sites like torrentreactor.net to find movies music and more. Torrent sites almost always scan their files before they put them on their website for you to download.
And its free just like Limewire

I use Limewire Pro and even with the basic Limewire afer you download a file Limewire will tell you if the file is corrupt and ask you if you want to open it or delete it. Always scan files that before putting them on your computer.
Out of the literally thousands of songs I have downloaded I would have to say that only maybe 1% of the files had a corrupt file in them, potentially being a virus.
I would say, being a Limewire PRO user that it is well worth the extra 20 bucks to download the Pro version.
If you are looking to download either version I would advise doing it from Limewire's website.
There are no 100% virus free sites , no matter what they all claim, Kazaa, Napster, Morpheus to name a few, but after using several different P2P programs, If I had to rate any of them I would rate Limewire Pro a 10.

I have been using the last release limewire for a long time.. and I didn't get any viruses, but make sure when you download a file that is a program , scan it before opening it ..

The Limewire program is safe but what you can download using it can be infected with viruses, spyware etc. You will be downloading "stuff" from unknown stranger's computers while they will be uploading from your computer at the same time. You will not be downloading from any website.
Always scan every file you download with your anti-virus and your anti-spyware before you open it

they are all riddled with viri, and so are the files you download, so if you're going for it then you'll get a virus sooner or later
the alternative is to pay for the stuff you plan on stealing over limewire
