limewire...is a spyware thing, but its safe, its spyware only because it throws your music on the program which requires it to have access to your comp, ive had it since 6th grade and never had any problems...and if there is a file with a virus (1 in 1000 so they say) it will pop up on your comp as corrupted and you simple click cancel download and your good to go.

my friend has had limewire for over a year and shes never gotten a virus!! so im definitely convinced and i downloaded limewire about a week ago and nothing bad has happened since so im guessing its pretty safe. i say take the risk and use it because most people dont get viruses and its worth it! limewire is great and i heard KAAZA sucks.

You should download Warez, it's a really good program to download music, and yes, it's legal and free. There's no spyware or pop-ups!

Make sure you have good virus scanners and such. My computer has Antivir, Spybot and Ad- Aware . I didn't have it before and I downloaded something that crashed my computer. So please make sure your computer is protected before you use limewire.

You shouldn't download limewire. If you download one song, you can be sued for $10,000. Imagine what downloading 10 or 100 songs would cost.

Just buy the songs on iTunes. Not only will you stay legal and safe, you'll also learn how to manage your money [seriously] by only buying songs you really like, not every single song you've ever heard.

And yes, Limewire, Kazaa, and all of those programs cause viruses.
