I actually haven't got any viruses off LimeWire, and I've been using it for ages. Like unlovedwarrior said, you just have to guess if something is right or not. I follow these practices:

• Don't download anything with unusual names
• Only download things that I'm looking for
• Only download something if it falls in the correct size grouping (i.e. a < 1MB file isn't gonna be good for your computer..)
• Don't download anything with 60+ uploads (I find that it isn't even a download, it usually links to a site. But sometimes it's a virus)

But really, if you're safe, there's little chance of stuffing up your computer through LimeWire.

BTW, this thread was started in 2004. Why was it picked up again?

richenstony decided to start it again.

as long as we help prevent another infection.
