Err....It depends on what you download. The virus may be able to get past your Antivirus.

Dont Use Limewire-Its illegal!

Hi, Let's be brief> it's better to have an antivirus program than not.

You may need other protection as well- a lot depends on what you or other users do on the computer.

However- we cannot provide help when your question asks for help using a P2P program. This site does not support the use of P2P...please see the Rules:

We do not support the illegal distribution of copyrighted material and will not answer questions regarding software designed to do so.

So, I will have to Close this thread.
