Does limewire really cause viruses?

Some of the downloads can be Trojans, viruses, spam, or whatever else. I used Lime until one file tried to toast my machine. Advice?

There is a 50/50 % of a chance you will get a virus. It really depends on what you download. Take it to a download directory and virus scan that directory before you click on or open the files.
