Hi all;
So I finally got rid of the firewall in Limewire. What's to prevent someone from accessing my shared files along with a virus or worm? Is that possible and how do I protect myself?

Dear Peerless;
You just never know where I'll show up with a problem.
I'm new to all forums, I don't even know how to "chat". So when I come upon an opportunity to post a question I don't pay attention to where I am probably because I'm lost. I'll get the hang of this sooner or later. In the meantime, cut me some slack.
By the way, what is "Phex"?

Peerless;
You can turn me around in a phone booth three times and I'm lost. There's a lot of new data to process and sometimes I get overwhelmed. I'm sorry if my message ended up in the wrong place. Will try harder next time.
