| What is Limeware? What is it used for? Why was it in the midst of a controversial legal case in the year 2010? Is it still in use? Is it safe to use in the sense that is it free from spyware/adware? Is there a free version of this available currently on the internet? |

The LimeWire program itself is safe, but the problem is to the files that are in this program. When you download something such a movie from this program, your computer is at risk because you allow outsiders to enter in(especially when you do not have antivirus protection, your computer will be attacked.If you have a antivirus, you can select a file before downloading it and scan it for viruses.
