I asked a question like this about SENDSPACE.com a few days ago and was wondering the same thing about the website 4shared.com
are either of them an unmonitored, filesharing tool like Limewire?
and if it is, would people who download from it be more susceptible to VIRUSES, ID theft, and etc? (aren't you vulnerable to those things when you use Limewire?)
thnx for all the help!

Many of the free file sharing sites are not well screened for viruses, spyware, keyloggers, etc.
Make sure you have valid Virus Scanner and ad/spy -ware scanner that are updated every day if you often visit these sites.
Be careful
Good Luck

You can get a virus because if the other person has a virus and you download that file you'll get that exact virus maybe more. So I recommend not using Limewire or anything like that.
