I use mine alot not virus yet (Knock on wood), but I make sure and keep my virus protection updated. Limewire will usually worn you that a file is corrupt.

No problems with limewire here either. I used Ares for a while too, but if i had to pick one i'd go with limewire.

i use limewire...just make sure you have updated virus protection and such because there will be a grip load of spyware come up.

I use Morpheus and Imesh and they are pretty good. I believe as long as you have firewall protection no one can get into your computer to see what you have been doing. I use Norton Antivirus and it works great. Costs 50 bucks a year but its worth it.

I've used Ares for the last year and just recently, as in last week, changed to Limewire and love it. It's just alot easier to operate.

I wasn't too crazy about Limewire when I used it, but it's been quite a while so it might be better now. I'd strongly recommend that you not use Kazaa under any circumstances. That stupid thing did a number on my computer, for sure. I'm using iTunes now.

Yeah, kazaa pretty much killed our computer too. It got to the point where it wouldn't even turn on anymore....Oops

Napster was more like 5-6 years ago...I still think it was the best.

Do you use a Antivirus? I have never had any problems with Morpheus but that may be because my Antivirus bails me out.

Defineltly use one...there is no telling if you get a virus if you dont use one!And plus its a folder sharing program but Limewire tells you if the file is infected but o well just make sure you use one..
