if I understand the question right. Only you or other user of you computer can download and store files from another computer on your computer.

i.e. Limewire can't send unless being asked to send by the receiver.

Sorry, I am not the most computer literate out here. What I mean, is it possible for a user on his/her computer to "hack" into my computer using limewire, and download or store files on my computer that I don't want?

Thanks for any replies. Time is of the essence here. My son is being charged with possession of child pornography. According to police reports, a cp video was downloaded and viewed while my son was at work. He was not even close to his computer. So I'm wondering if it's possible for another computer user to download and view a video on my son's computer using limewire. It is irrefutable that he was at work. Only other option is that someone came into the house and used his computer (which I suppose is possible, as doors are never locked).

He has been given a plea offer, which we are considering. But I don't want him to take the deal if he is not responsible for downloading this video.

Again, thanks for any info.

Oh, and he is a carpenter and has no access to a computer while at work, in case you are wondering. The plea offer is good until the end of this week, so as I said, time is of the essence.

Thank you.
