Does limewire give my computer viruses?

its not the limewire who gives virus to your computer, its you because basically limewire is a gateway to other computers so when you connect to others and want to download its on your part to do the job.... that is scan the program or document or whatever you've just downloaded with anti-virus before you open it.

Does limewire give my computer viruses?anti virus protection

think of limewire as a many spoked wheel. limewire is the hub in the middle. now there are thousands of spokes connected to the hub and your one of them. when you download you go to one of those spokes thru the hub. you can get a virus from anyone of those spokes. limewire just passes it thru.

Does limewire give my computer viruses?antivirus

ohh yes it does...but if you have a mac then its okayy
generally limewire gives viruses to computers but if u have good and updated antivirus u have worry little but u cannot say viruses r not coming. Limewire searches all sites and so bring viruses with them.

remedy

u can do onething

create a dual boot system xp and xp

and one use for downloading and after checking viruses

burn them to CD and use anywhere

this way u can be safe

or u can even use virtual pc 2004

search for virtual pc in google
Yes sure it will give viruses

also it gives good files too, its better to not trust it....... i lost my previous hard drive just coz of Lime Wire
