i want 2 download limewire but my dad is paranoid about getting viruses & so on.
if i put limewire on my USB disk and download all the files i get onto my USB disk will the computer not get viruses.

thanks

I have two external USB hard disks and always download to them but I always take the necessary precaution of having an AV running on my PC. You see, it does not matter where a virus, trojan or whatever lands in your PC because if it gets a chance to run it will infect all of your PC, not just the disk it lands on.

Just remember this, no matter where a piece of malware runs from it will put itself into your PCs memory and infect everything it comes in to contact with from there.

Your dad peronoid huh? you wont get virursis if you dont download software with virisus on it check with blitziz or waterever i cant spell it

true because i had limewire now for like 1 month now and before it gave me a lot of viruses because i did not know how to use limewire and check it with my av but noe when i donwload things or big files yea check to make sure and always keep ur av up to date it is very important but it can be a good to download all the music u want really
