I have had WAY too many viruses come from limewire. sm.
Be very careful about music and video sharing and downloading through them. I tried them about a year ago and nearly every song downloaded had poor quality of wasn't the correct song. The first worm I got was not that bad, but then I got an actual virus. Had to totally wipe my computer. I was NOT happy.

I love Limewire !

Not RadGuy, but yes, you can get viruses with Limewire.
I just fixed my friend's computer. She had about 20 viruses and trojan horses, not to mention over 300 Spyware entries. It took me about 6 hours to get it back to proper working order. The only thing she had was Limewire.

I've never had any trouble with Limewire...
They automatically check for viruses when U download each song plus they don't have spyware, unlike Morpheus (stay away from that one). In fact, last night I downloaded Let It Be (the movie) which I have never seen before (can U imagine that, me being a Beatle freak?) and have all kinds of videos and songs and albums. I believe Limewire is recommended by PC Magazine and PC World too. I love it!

There is a website called Limewire.

Mostly it's used to share and download music for free, but you can also find software on there as well. You have to first download the Limewire software which is a free download. The you open up Limewire, get used to the software which is very easy, and then do a search. That is how I got my copy of MS Office 2003.

The Limewire software will ask you each time you use it if you want to upgrade to Limewire Pro, just click later to continue using the free version.

I know some will yell about it not being right because of copyright laws and such, but in my opinion, Microsoft charges exorbitant prices for their bug-ridden operating system and software, I don't have much guilt about it.
