Is Frostwire safe for my computer?

i just bought a computer about 5 months ago, and i had limewire on my old computer and downloaded more than just music which gave me viruses. If i download frostwire it will be for downloading music only. Will that put my computer at risk?

Update:

i know its illegal and i know the risks....also i dont remember asking if it was legal or not lol

    ok first of all frostwire is illegal and second of all frostwire gives you many viruses. it may work for other people but dont trust frostwire. its breaking the law! and it gave my cousin a bunch of viruses on HIS computer and he only downloaded music too. I suggest you dont use it.

    No, it isn't safe but if you stick to audio files and being careful about it you should be fine. I use Frostwire too and I've never gotten a virus, and my computer hasn't been damaged either. =)

    As long as you're careful about what you download. Make sure that they're actually audio files and that the size of the file seems to be about right for the length of the song.
