Limewire 4.18.8 does not send viruses to your computer, rather it stops downloading when the file's got a virus. It's marked as corrupted, as some files infect the computer the instant that it is downloaded.

it is very possible that it sends viruses. i have had a couple of computers crash and go to the blue screen in the past 5 years. you do have to be careful about what you download. i always download the file of the song that i want that has the highest number of downloads. i have had this computer for 7 months and i put limewire on it almost immediately and i havent had any trouble yet

I'm not sure about sending viruses but perhaps you should be careful when downloading from an unknown source. I also have a limewire software and it eats up my patience. As you said it takes hours to download a single song.

I use to use limewire and just recently got rid of it. I'm pretty sure it gave my computer a virus. Every once and a while my computer gets a blue screen then shuts off, which isn't good. It eventually fries your computer. BUT, good music downloading systems are ARES and soulseek.

Not always, sometimes there may be infected files, therefore you should be careful. But that is generally the case with all file sharing programs, including torrents...
