Limewire??

**rbob93** · 02-23-2006, 07:46 PM

Is Limewire going to fill my computer with spyware if I decide to join them?
Seems like the last time I joined one of those music DL sites I got creamed.

I really don't want to join, but i need a song for a wedding this Sunday and can't find it anywhere. Bride to be thinks it can be had via Limewire.
I'd hate to spend the $ to find out she's wrong.

Song is Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon.

Can anyone give me the straight dope on it?

Thanks!

What you do is download the free limewire that has spyware and use it to download limewire Pro which doesn't have spyware and then you delete the free one.

No...you search under programs for limewire pro and download that. You don't have to buy it. The pay version can be downloaded from their free version.

I have the free Limewire and it works OK... I also have Microsoft spyware software that will delete any malicious files. So far, I've had no problems. You can't download every song you see on there. Lots of times it says "not enough sources" or it just waits forever.

Be sure to disable sharing. There are instruction online for doing this. You don't want a visit from the FBI...!

Not laughing at you. Laughing at the fact their PAY version can be downloaded using their FREE version.

Same here. I went from Napster to Limewire, to Morpheus, to Kazaa, then back to Limewire now. Please elaborate on how you get Pro for free.

**rbob93** · 02-24-2006, 09:03 AM

I used Limewire FREE version and found the song I needed.
No bullshit spyware so I'm good to go.

FuxOnTheFirstDate made me remember that it was Kazaa that crashed my system.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Morpheus has gotten a lot better. Reason I quit using Limewire was because it would always take forever to find the files, then it'd take forever for them to actually download. Plus it seemed like the files I got on Limewire were always worse quality than what I get using Morpheus. Plus Morpheus can now handle torrent files.

But, whatever you do...stay away from Kazaa unless you like viruses and spyware.
