Just this: How safe is Limewire? Possibilities of getting a virus or other malware? And can people use limewire for data theft?

Limewire is not very safe at all. There are many viruses and cable companies keep a close eye on what is being download. So if you're downloading music or video illegally, you can easily get caught.

Use bearshear I have for a while and I use Trendmicro as a virus defender and it will let me know if a file is corrupt and gives me the option to download or not. Plus lava soft is a free adware and spyware that works great to detect and remove.

Viruses are common and they can be hidden within other programs. If using it, you need a good anti virus program.
