Its not the client itself that gives you the virus, its the content you download. Using limewire is legal, but downloading isnt. The key to downloading is after you downloaded everything is make sure you close limewire, and clean out your shared folder. Also make sure you know what you are downloading, then you will be safe from viruses. I recommend only downloading music from limewire.

It is illegal and it can give you viruses.
It is legal to have to actualy software, but if you use it to load songs for other people to download, or download songs, then it is illegal.

It's legal to have the program on your PC but illegal to use it and to be honest, it isn't advisory because it has quite a few viruses. A legal alternative is Songbird which search songs on a website called www.skreemr.com
