What exactly will limewire do to my computer?

by santheo

All my friends use limewire. I mainly use itunes which is eating away at my money. Some of my friends say I should use limewire, some say it will really mess up my computer.. Is there something else I can use that will save me money but keep my computer clean? Will limewire really mess up my computer?

Yes, most computers are getting infected by a virus because of P2P applications (eg. Limewire, Frostwire). When you use these kind of applications, they really come with a hidden file when you download something from it. It will remain hidden in anticipation of it destroys your computer.

For me, I use direct downloads by googling the song. (eg. save you by simple plot mp3 download) and some websites will come up like aimini.net, esnips.com, airmp3.net, etc…

Do not, i repeat Do not use limewire, first and mostly you will be tracked by the MPAA, and then you will have to pay a fine ( $ 500 for each song). But luckly they warned u about it by sending a letter to you(nicely) on your internet browser. it happened to me, and luckily this was my first warning. so i urge you to rub out it. download torrent files which are way safer, like btjunkie or pirate bay, so you can view the comments before it is safe to download it.

Have you ever had this happened, and you don’t know how to get back to english?

I deleted the program and each single file related to it. There is no limewire folder containing my music. Though, there is still a playlist that shows up under ‘shared’ that is titled “(my name)’s LimeWire Tunes” that contains the three songs I once uploaded from limewire. The songs won’t play because they have long since been deleted.

Help?

Answer by Computer Geek (:
The same thing happened to me. When you installed lime wire, you chose to share the files throughout your computer. Un share these files and you should be excellent. You may have to restart your computer for this to be taken into action..

BTW;
I use lime wire, but i’m experimenting different programs to see which ones better. there are going to be many jerks out there who want to give you a virus, but here are ways you can 90% of the time preclude them…

1.) Its best you dont download movies of limewire; be safe, and just dont do it.
2.) Never download files that say “CD Quality.” They may be clean, but alot of them have viruses.
3.) Only download a song that is 3,000KB or larger, because viruses are small.
4.) Only download music with a MP3 mark, zip files are perilous sometimes
5.) Try to download songs with capital letters and proper grammar and spacing
6.) When a song is half way downloaded, click on it to see how it sounds, if the signal is blank, right click on it straight away and CANCEL THE DOWNLOAD ASAP. it has a virus!!!
7.) Always have a virus protection with an on-scanner. I recomend avast! home edition. works for me everytime.

thought i would share that, im kinda bored, lol.
hope this helps!
