    Like Netscape, Napster and Aol software, this baby went to pasture a very long time ago. It had its day in the sun when you could download music. Now, its just a dinosaur on life support.

    Limewire now uses AVG's scanning engine for security purposes. Note: Limewire using AVG's scanning engine will not conflict with your resident AV.

    And I have to agree with these reviewers that P2P software including LimeWire is being misused for copyright infringement and it should be used for corporate or home businesses. If you're using LimeWire, avoid downloading the fake ICPP Copyright Rogue, and other infected files that can corrupt your critical system files, including Parite, Sality, Virut, etc.

    If you ever need to intentionally infect a computer for testing, its the best source I know of for getting malware samples. Beyond that, it's useless.

    Should be called VirusWire. It's sad so many ignorant people install this crap.
