AIM I know for sure doesn't cause viruses as for limewire PRO, I wouldn't think so (hey that rhymes lolz =P) but as long as you have a type of virus protection on your computer, then I'd say your fine...My friend has limewire [not sure if it's PRO or not] and nothing happened to her computer...and she has a virus protection, too, so I think it won't...If the basic limewire doesn't cause viruses, then the PRO one won't either I believe...Okay, well basically what I'm trying to say for both questions is: N0! =)

Yeah, AIM and Limewire should be okay themselves, but.....the software that you download using Limewire will often contain viruses. In fact often times there will be programs that are named something that you want and that would be legit, but version that you download with Limewire is just a virus that could either steal your personal information or harm your machine. Make sure you know and trust the source of any program you run on you machine, whether you download it or get it in an email attachement or get a link to it in an IM window.
Or another solution is to just try out any risky programs first on a disposable computer that you don't mind reformatting and reinstalling the operating system on after something doesn't work out well....

Downloading these programs does not cause virues, However clicking on links from users in AIM can send a virus to your PC. And downloading some files from Limewire including exe files is a EXCELLENT way to catch a virus. Be berrrrrrrrry careful.

No limewire receive from its genuine internet site won't in spite of the undeniable fact that this is going to set up spyware into your pc. issues which you receive regardless of the undeniable fact that using limewire regardless of the undeniable fact that could contain a plague, so which you will might desire to be careful with that. i might recommend reseaching torrents and using them, no spyware and that i discover plenty quicker and much less demanding.
