I find it pretty much USELESS. I have not been to able to find a single thing that I have been searching for, including music. And yes, I twice got a trojan, but AVG caught them, so no harm. Maybe others like Ares and Morpheus are better.

Its Limewire, not Livewire.

Happy New Year!!

Yes it caused viruses
limewire is actually a very good program to have. there was a time about a year ago that someone dumped a virus into the network, but most of that has been removed. there are still a few, but you can recognize them by their file size. if it looks way too small to be what it's supposed to be, it's a virus. if you don't download it, you will be ok.
u should so far i havent got any viruses....knock on wood

it doesnt mess up ur computer but u should make sure u have enough space on ur computer to hold it
You can definitely get viruses and spyware from LimeWire...just be VERY careful what you download (music is fine, everything else watch out for).
I've had no problems with it, that I am aware of. However the potential is there when using any such programs where you are downloading files from people you do not know.
1. Limewire is hosted in the USA, so, when the RIAA won the Grokster lawsuit, (through some ignorance on the part of the judge about technology!), see groklaw... the RIAA forced Limewire, through extortion by their powerful lobby of lawyers, to BUILD IN some back doors, blockers, and trackers for the RIAA (and, their 'buddies', the MPAA!)!
