Default Get protection from the experts

It really stinks that you got a virus, but I highly doubt you got a virus from LimeWire. More likely, you got a virus from running something you downloaded using LimeWire.

You could have done exactly the same thing using FireFox or Internet Explorer to download and run an infected program from a stranger's website.

Running at least one virus scanner from one of the reputable vendors (and keeping it up to date) is common sense online safety.

LimeWire does not have any virus experts. If you want virus protection, you probably want virus protection from the experts. In the same way, if you want your car repaired, you probably want to go to car repair experts rather than offering to pay a LimeWire developer to fix your car. LimeWire devolopers simply don't have expertise in the virus detection or car repair fields.
