Okay. I was introduced to WinAmp by a fellow filesharer and was in love. Later, I discovered Limewire from AOTS. I downloaded it. My computer had been acting horrible, slow, and full of pop-ups. Thankfully my mom's IT guy looked at my computer and his initial response was, "You're computer is REALLY messed up." After 1900 spywares and 109 viruses were uncovered so was the source- filesharing. If you're computer is acting in such a manner, I strongly suggest you seek help. Spyware is a terrible way for companies to gain knowledge of your personal information and prefrences to target you as a consumer.

I thought this information could be helpful and if anyone has any other information to contribute please feel free to add on.) |

i am on the hacker side.... jk but really i like limewire.... i guess im siding with the people saying thats it harmless... but basically i do know that once u download the file its on ur system and if someone bugged it then they have control.. unless u delete it... but i never keep a song for long on there.. i just download... and put on my zen touch (mp3 player) and everythings fine XD
