Is It True That Downloading Limewire Is Dangerous For Your Computer?

I'd like to use Limewire but I'm afraid that it will download viruses etc. That can cause my computer to crash. Is it true? If so, should I refrain from downloading limewire altogether, or is there a way to protect my computer while using Limewire?

    There is certainly a possibility that you mistakingly download a virus or malware to your pc through limewire,but you can easily protect your pc from any type of viruses by using a good anti virus like norton or Mc Cafee.Many people including myself use limewire every day without any problem so you do not need to be afraid.Happy downloading.

      I have used Limewire for over 2 years now and have not had any problems with the site.  Because you download from another person's computer through Limewire, there is a chance you could get a virus if their computer had one.  I find that I get virus's from many different areas, but usually emails.  I have never had a virus problem with Limewire.

        Limewire is dangerous. My computer just crashed and it was the result of corrupted files from limewire. My computer had Norton installed on it, but I guess it wasn't enough. Beware

        No dont do it! Because it does carry viruses and the music isnt what you think it is i just downloaded limewire and i wanted akon-beautiful and it all came up wrong and the music kept cutting and there is no way that you can protect you're computer from limewire anyway so whatever you do DO DOWNLOAD IT!!!!! Just use itunes instead

        There seem to be some mixed messages here. How do I know if I'm downloading a bad file. What is a good file size for one song?
