Not true. It doesn't matter what speed of connection you have.

I got "dodgy stuff" downloading materials for these speeds of connection when I used Limewire.

fine but what im saying is that your more lightly to get a virus from a DSL or Cable item then a TI or T3 or Higher.

I use Limewire all the time for music, I can't download programs or games from it at the moment, I downloaded a few before, with cracks where needed and they were good but a lot of those tend to carry viruses so that's why they remove the content, I think.

If you stop using Limewire you must go on control pannel then add/remove programs and make sure it's gone for good. Just make sure you stay as far away as possible form Kazaa.

I think it's a shame...
Because the majority of you using Limewire or similar on a regular basis WILL eventually find yourselves with a damaged computer that ceases to perform certain functions. Even spyware protection etc often can't help you with a decently constructed and effective virus downloaded directly onto your computer. You're downloading directly from other people's computers, other people who might not even be aware they have a computer filled with viruses themselves, or could easily have given you a dodgy file on purpose.

Some viruses force your computer to randomly restart.
Some make it difficult for your computer to even start.
Some can affect your monitor.
Some can mess up your keyboard.
Some can affect your internet connection.
Some just generally slow your computer down.
Some cause pop ups.

The list goes on and on, and some of them will cause you such serious problems that you're forced to get your computer repaired or replaced.

It's not worth the hassle in my opinion. And the viruses/spyware usually kick in so slowly, that you don't even realise until it's too late...and just sit there continuing to download, unaware your computer is getting worse by the minute.

I tend to download from myspace, or specific independant websites.
Myspace involves people uploading their own songs for publicity, so they've no intention of causing anyone any problems. But you can't be too careful no matter what you're downloading.

Well I think I have viruses. My computer used to randomnly restart. It's stopped doing that now.. sometimes my keyboard decides not to work and my internet connection used to disconnect every day at the same time.

I don't use limewire, but my brothers do who use the computer, so i've deleted it now.

Limewire strikes again. If you bring that to my mate I'm afraid he's going to charge you extra. Glad to see you got rid of Limewire

[Holograms]

Dont Like limewire its **** never comes up with what you want it to and theres always something dirty there <3

[Captain.Remy]

It's full of rubbish things on there, I don't use it.

I only use it for torrents for tv shows, i find it faster downloading torrents from Limewire than Bittorrent.

I download songs from itunes and buy CDS
