Yes, well. Despite that fact, I would still like to have the option to download those files. If I'm spending hours of my time downloading a file... maybe I... oh what is it? Maybe I...hmmm... what is it that I... WANT! OH THAT'S IT! WANT! MAYBE I WANT THE DAMN FILE!
The issue that you're talking about is the virus. The issue I am talking about (along with the OP, I'm sure) is CHOICE.
Of course there's risk involved. There are viruses everywhere. It's not Limewire's job to clean out our computers. It's ours. That's why we have virus protection programs. That's why we do scans.
Anywho, gotta fly. I need to find another way to download the files I'm looking for! Cuz obviously Limewire is not going to do the job.
