Your computer will not be overun by viruses & spyware....

To keep safe.. I would strongly recommend downloading peer guardian. (as it is designed for p2p users & acts as a firewall)...
Also, if you do manage to connect to the network, scan the files before you open them.

Jimbow could you provide these details please...

It's also not wise to be running 2 active firewalls as they will clash with each other and offer no protection....I would suggest disabling the windows firewall...

This could be due to a number of reasons....
Mainly, because you got LimeWire basic. LW Pro offers 'Turbo-Charged Downloads'
