Default Should I Install Limewire?

I've been hearing a lot of warnings about spyware, viruses, etc. attatched to Limewire. I'm just wondering if you all could tell me what risks there are in putting Limewire on my computer, and if there are any alternative ******* programs that I might be able to use instead of Limewire.

I'm only going to be downloading mp3s. I'm worried about the whole concept of Peer to Peer. What happens when I allow people to connect to my computer to download files?

You only let them have access to limewire's shared folder...

When the option appears in the installation procedure, select only to share the shared folder, don't let limewire search your computer for any other things to share...
