I've never gotten anything from Limewire, but if you wanna be safe, don't use P2P programs...

bit torrent works but dont download .rar files. you should also download adaware and spybot.

ya .rar is safe off bit torrent. just get AVG free anit virus and scan the file before you extract shit from it.

bit torrent is definatly safe. also soulseek (www.slsknet.org) is safe as well.

they usually have lots of adware so just watch out. I dont know what you downloading but from my experience its like 20-30% .rar

Shareaza is not too bad ether. It's download times are a bit slow but I haven't gotten a bad song or a virus since I've been using it and it's been like 1 year.
