Do you often come across malware problems while using your PC? Are you doing all you can to fight against unreliable
software? If not, you should start doing this so as not to encounter huge difficulties. Referring to this question LimeWire is the topic of our discussion. It is said to be a fast, easy-to-use file sharing program with no spyware, adware or other bundled software. Still, there are doubts whether this program is safe or not because people are complaining about viruses and other malware attacking their PCs while using Limewire for downloading files.
Generally, people have two opinions on Limewire. The first is that it is safe, but the condition is that you need to be careful when it comes to things you download, paying special attention to files below 500kb as these could be a source of 
malicious codes that can cause harm to your machine if activated. Only if you are absolutely sure of what you’re doing, using P2P software can be considered safe.
The second opinion is the opposite. This group of computer users believes that Limewire is unsafe and if you don’t want to take risks you should avoid using this program and choose bittorrent instead.
However, bear in mind that no matter what sharing software you use, you have to have a good virus and spyware scanner installed. All in all, you should scan each and every file after downloading, before preparing to do anything else with it.
