Anything you download from the internet has a possibility to cause viruses. It doesn't matter which program it is. Your best bet is to either stop downloading or get a very good antivirus and keep it up to date.

I have limewire and my friend also has limewire. No problems.

Ah? Another downloading thing ... maybe bearshare? Winmx? I'm not too keen on if they cause a lot of viruses. Before limewire I had winmx for a few years and never had a problem with viruses.

I don't know if Lime Wire causes viruses or not, I haven't had it before. But you should really check out "Ares", it's a really awesome downloader. I had it for awhile now and didn't have any problem with it, it's great. Just go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and search up "Ares", you'll find the site to download it from.

all my friends have it and they didnt get any viruses, but i did and now my computer is sooo slow. if you have a new computer i think therell be a small risk but if you an old computer dont even think about it, limewire is spyware.

ADDED INFO:by the way bittorent is like limewire and works great with no spyware or viruses its what i use.
