It is amazing how one wants to transfer the blame to others, and not taking responsibility for their own actions or lack of. I am an educator and work behavior challenged kids all day who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions of choice.
I am new to Limewire, but not to P2P (Kazaa). If you don't have a good firewall, and a daily up to date virus program then you are asking for trouble. I downloaded one of the 857.1kb, thinking it may be a program that would go to another site for downloading the program - like some commericial programs do. MS does all the time! However, Norton AV identified and deleted the virus without futher incident.
There is no substitute for a first line of defense - Firewall - AV.
Limewire is GREAT - ad free, spam free, and virus free. Not 100% true about the downloads
