limewire pro4.12.3 : full of viruses?

[swordfisch]

hey all,

my friend successfully downloaded 1000's of songs from limewire pro - but then said his computer was infected with 100's of viruses.

is limewire a conduit for viruses?

if so, then which p2p is safer?

thanks.

ps. any other bands like :
1. vital remains
2. susperia
3. dissection
4. kataklysm
5. bolt thrower?

i used to use warez and it kept it clean...

Limewire is a peer-to-peer program created for Mac, it's obvious that if you don't scan the dowloaded files you can be infected by viruses, you are downloading mostly from Mac users, and we don't give a damn about your virus problems!

 

[Kattana]

macs have good virus protection?

 

[Igraine]

Macs don't get infected by virus... I can download all the shitty virus that I want and my mac won't give a damn about it...

 

[vikk]

if you don't want virus, don't use the internet n00b

 

[Kattana]

wow sounds pretty cool!

p.s
please post in my valentines thread

 

[Igraine]

yup, mac is pretty cool!

Be smart and do like me:

Download a lot of song everywhere at your friends' house, and than ask them to send them to you.

 

[Kattana]

or buy the CDs

 

[Igraine]

buying is just too expensive...

 

[CliffBurton]

Get a job, or Get Bitcomet.

P.S. Kataklysm is badass.

a good way to download music for you noobs:

let's say you are searching for the album HAtebreeder by Children of Bodom
go to google and search : "hatebreeder.rar", with or without the " "
sometimes you need to search during some time but you will find a link to megaupload or rapidshare or something similar to download the full album

Some music blogs where you can download albums too:

or you can download Emule, and use a website like this one http://www.figator.com/ to find some full albums too

Have fun

If you don't want viruses, do what I do: USE LINUX!!

But yeah, MacOSX is a completely different operating system from Windows. It's not a matter of virus protection, it's a matter of whether that virus is bad for you or not. It's like how a disease may affect humans, but not animals. (Yes, I just compared Macs with animals.)
