LimeWire or any other program can not damage your hard drive. It is not physically possible to damage your hard drive by righting to it. The only thing that can damage your hard drive physically is things like power surges normal long term wear from running IE spinning. Or failure from some other such occurrence.

LimeWire does not contain spyware limeshop was removed years ago in limewires early years it did have some add ware. But they have been gone for years. Some spyware programs do see LimeWire as spyware but the are false positive results they determine that limewire is spyware because of it's name not because of content.

Hi new member i have been using lime wire for a few months now and had the same problem with my computer it was because i had too many video files [big lost fan downloaded about 15 episodes] best thing to do is:-

1.When you have downloaded the video file either watch it then delete it or burn it to disc i use nero7 which is great then delete the video file and once a week defragment your hard drive it works for me.

2.Stay away from the programmes 90% contain viruses or don't work make sure you scan them before you open them.Make sure you have good anti virus software on at all times i use both Avira and avg 7.1 these catch the trojans normally but it's best to download the free trials and download a registration key or serial number off documents.

It's the best p2p network i have used so far [i have tried them all] and the simplest to use the others are either complicated [morphous] full off spyware and viruses [bearshare] or just too crap [kazza]
