Limewire its self dosent contain a virus, however, The files you download from it ussualy do! Try and scan any files you download from there before opening them!

While the program Limewire itself does not contain any virus's.. The files that you download from it could certainly have virus's.

I love limewire

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

I've always used LimeWire, despite it being illegal. The programme itself doesn't have any viruses, but some of the files might.

Just dont download .exe files. Also when downloading music files dont download files which are 200kb or around there. Most music tracks are in .mp3 or .wma on LimeWire, and over 3000kb, just stay around there and you will be fine :)

LimeWire itself is not does not contain any spyware, viruses, etc. The downloaded files often do. If you download AVG Anti-virus Free version, (if you don't have it/another anti-virus), than it will protect you from downloading files with viruses. Only download music files and image files. Images can be .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tiff, .png, etc. If they aren't a known image file type, DON'T DOWNLOAD it. Music files are usually .mp3 or .m4a if its not a known music file type, DON'T DOWNLOAD IT. Music files should be 800-4000 kb. If you have AVG or another anti virus, it will warn you if it senses the file contains a virus. If you know the length of the song, often times it is about 1 minute = 1000 kbs. Thats not always right, depending on several factors, but if its way off than it is wise to choose another file. Also, don't leave Limewire running in the background, it slows things down a lot.
