Limewire

[Charlie]

Probs wrong place to put this but hey-ho.

I want to get limewire. But i've heard it gives virus's [sp?]
And im not sure if i should get it or not.

Does it give a virus or does it depend on what you download?

I think it has spyware, though it was ok when I had it. Just don't download anything illegal from it.
If you want a P2P program i suggest Shareaza [google it.], it connects to Gnutella1, 2 and eDonkey servers.
It takes a bit of configuring with your firewall/NAT router so you will need to know a bit about that

If it's music you're after use Napster, you have to pay but it's legal! Cheap, though.

I'm not sure about other p2p programs without spyware, but i'm pretty sure limewire and kazzaa have some.

Ive got it and i dont get viruses.,

[Baving]

I have used limewire and i do not get virusus or spyware.

Every system has got its viruses, it depends how well you know whats, what.
Limewire,used by millions, its always rated and its lasted for quite a long time, so its a good choice to go with

Most systems have spyware,even if it's undetected on your ad-aware or w/e.And same with viruses to be honest



And properclone,Im geussing she wants to download music from Limewire which is illegal anyway,seeing as she's getting it the illegal way

[Victimized]

As long as you turn it off before you go to bed then it wont download anything. I have had it for a year and nuffins happened.

i prefer bearshare or morphesus [sp?]

limewire = eww

Limewire doesnt give viruses on install (not that mcafee/AVG or BitDefender have seen).
It's just that when your trying to download, most files are viruses (most viruses are under 900kb/180kb if their meant to be music/movie files.) >: (

Although Limewire tells you if the file your downloading is corrupted,
sometimes.. it lets you down -_-' (bad experience, trust me).

So please, get an anti-virus/anti-spyware program installed beforehand (AVG/BitDef).

I've never had any bad experiences from Limewire.
Ares was pretty good aswell.

One to steer clear of ; Kazaa, riddled with spyware/adware that one.

I have Limewire pro.. so thats better but yeah ; you can never be certain
