Hello, I just had a couple of questions...

A while ago I had limewire solely for downloading photoshop, and my computer got pretty messed up because of it. I have been wary of filesharing programs since then, but a few weeks ago I downloaded BearShare for music. I haven't gotten any viruses from it, so I'm happy, but it seems to have less content and to be slower over all. I have friends who use LW w/o incident, and I wonder if it really is better than BearShare. I regularly scan for viruses, something I didn't know to do before, and I take better care of my computer over all. So, I don't know if it makes any difference what I do or have, I'd just like to know before I do something stupid.

Thanks!
