Virus got me. How do I reinstall Limewire and not be infected again?

I was affected by the “winupdate” virus to the point I had to format my hard drive and start over. I’ve read a lot about how to get rid of the virus but I haven’t seen anything as to how I may have gotten it. What I know is I got it after installing Limewire. Was it installing Limewire that gave me the virus or was it a file I opened once downloading it from a Limewire source? I want to be sure that just installing Limewire will not infect me again. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Devin
