Default Do You Have Any Idea The Security Risk With This?

Do you have any idea the security risk Limewire poses to private
information on people's computers? It is a hacker's paradise!!

I was taken in by being able to get music until I discovered there
were things being viewed on my computer I didn't know about.
There is no way to make certain files offlimits. I was able to find
things on my own computer with very little trouble.

It would be nice if I could control what people can view or not
view. I won't go in to detail as to the ability of Limewire
to give people access to your private information.

When I discovered it and realized the danger of Identity theft
that could happen, I discontinued using Limewire

So should you!!!!!
