Three ways to protect your computer.

1. Make sure to have an Antivirus or Antispyware that is up to date.

You can have Windows Live OneCare

2. Make sure to have a Firewall that is ON

3. Lastly Make sure your Automatic Updates is ON if your using Windows.

Those are your major protection.

You can still use limewire but make sure to run a scan before running the program.
