i just downloaded frostwire and it looks he same as limewire. is frostwire safer than limwire? can i still get viruses from it? what is frostwire exactly?
Frostwire is the exact same thing as Limewire -- it's affiliated with it. See, they make it look different and make it seems as though they aren't affiliated with it, but they really are. and yes, you can still get viruses from both this and Limewire. And honestly, any downloading program, you can get viruses, worms, trogans, etc.
Oh, and no, it is not safer. I encourage you to take it off your computer. I cannot tell you how many people I know, who have recieved viruses from Limewire and Frostwire. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]

You can still get viruses from it. No program that connects to the gnutella network makes you immune to viruses. The only thing that will protect you from viruses while using a gnutella client is common sense. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
