    Its what You deserve using Limewire, it really is a nasty nasty software. Wait till You download a Winnie the Pooh film that turns out to be kiddie porn renamed. There are better ways to download that don't leave You or Your pc at risk, can't talk about them here though.

    Fair enough PoigMoThoin,my interest in Limewire is solely to download music which is a major love of mine.I was aware that malicious files can be sent like cookies to track one's internet viewing etc.I am also aware that hackers try to use this P2P medium to access one people's personal information,details and financial information/transactions.I was not particularly aware that the disgusting,highly offensive material that you refer to is available via Limewire,call me naive!Anyhow thanks for advice re same.I will explore other P2P options for downloading free music.

    Limewire is absolutely riddled with viruses and malware

    There are also much better ways to download than p2p that don't require You to upload at all, fill Your bandwidth constantly and don't leave Your public ip visible for the rest of the world to see and prosecute.
