Limewire 2007 is a lot safer than other download sites, though no matter how much they tell you there's no spyware or viruses, it's always a very good idea to have an up to date virus protection installed on your computer, otherwise there's no way of telling if, how, when or where your computer's being attacked, and even less chance of it being repaired.

Limewire is only as trustworthy as its users. Unfortunatly some people ruin it for others by embedding viruses into video/sound files etc... It's not all bad! Just look at the file sizes of each document and download the one which file size is in the majority.
I would only use limewire if you have good antivirus/antispyware software
Hope that helps :-D

Limewire doesn't infect your pc, its the stuff that is downloaded off of Limewire that will do that. Limewire is just the middleman.

p2p sharing makes ur computer slow. we need to understand that this is completely illegal. there are so many free websites which gives free downloads.lets use it rather than using this p2p sharing. of course limewire is not safe.

Hi you,can got bad files with any P2P-app, make sure you have a antivirus program who scan all downloads you do.
AVG free edition for example.http://www.grisoft.com/doc/welcome/us/crp/0
