Limewire or Frost wire


Question Posted Saturday February 10 2007, 9:09 pm

I want your opinion if I should have limewire, frost wire, or none.

I had limewire several times and the reason why I say several times is because whne I download it and after downloading thousands of songs, my computer gets infected with viruses and runs slower and brakes my computer down so I have to get the computer fixing guy to restart everything on my computer as if I just bought it. Probably the viruses are because on limewire you download stuff off of other people's computer, virus included. Then I had the urge to download it again because I can't download my music anywhere else. Therefor getting my computer broken, fixed, and the whole cycle continues and nows my longest record of not having limewire for a year!

Then I heard of Frost wire, but I'm not sure if it's safe because I do not want to go to the computer guy to get it fixed again because I already wasted 1000 bucks from getting it fixed 5 times.

You're liek a professional so I want to get your advice first =)

short answer: go with frostwire, but be careful what you download and have an antivirus/antispyware/firewall/browser.
long answer:

Any malware you get comes from the files you download using the application, not the application itself. Frostwire, limewire, bearshare, and many other clients all use the Gnutella filesharing network. That means that they are all connected, and a file you find in one can be found in another. If you download an EXE, you're bound to get a virus, no matter what client you use. But frostwire warns you, and it downloads faster, so I'd go with that one. You might also be interested in bittorrent. It is much less likely you get a virus with bittorrent, because search sites usually weed them out. Here's my guide on bittorrent:
