    i have used limewire in the past and all it did was .... my pc up.

    i downloaded summat cant remember but my pc ....ed up the next time i restarted it had to get my hard drive formatted.

    i still use it now and again but now when ive downloaded some thing i scan it for viruses.

    be also aware that what you are downloading may not be what it says, most of the stuff is porn

    just be careful

    It is illegal to download on limewire when downloaded copyrighted stuff like music, software. Limeware does contain a hell of a lot of viruses. If I was going to download illegally I wuld use bit torrent software like bitcomet and visit sites like pirate bay or mininova etc

    there is an inherent risk with all P2P software they all carry viruses, are illegal and not to mention are a breeding ground for paedophiles swapping pics so yes I have major a problem with it.

    So in fact all you people saying yes its great and how much you love it are in fact supporting child abuse.

    So just think about that next time you try and save a few quid downloading a song.

    Well, one of my friends swears by it. He absolutely loves it and says it's great and worth getting.

    But my other friend says that Limewire has ruined her computer... twice.

    So if you did get it, I'd be careful what things you were downloading and from what people you were downloading from. Because my first friend says you can get viruses from certain hosts.

    Yes, some songs are mixed with another song or it just repeats the same part every 3 seconds for the same length the song would be. I think the companies are onto this big time as it's happening to me more and more.

    i wouldnt reccomend it for windows too many virus about
