Will Limewire screw up my computer?

I got Limewire and my computer seems to be slowed down and acting funny. Should I just delete it and repair the damage? What can I do to fix my computer?

LimeWire itself probably will not, but the things you download from LimeWire can if you're not careful. Check for spyware and viruses:

Did you review the system requirements of Limewire BEFORE you installed it?

Check these against your computer configuration (capacity).

Limewire DOES use up a lot of your RAM especially when opening.

You may need to upgrade your system first.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE BEFORE DOWNLOADING A FILE FROM LIMEWIRE! Some people trick you and put virus's with your files name. For music no.
I've had it for about a year and my computer is fine.
Computers always run slower when downloading. I use limewire all the time, but never download videos. Most carry viruses. What I do is install it when I am in the mood to make a cd and uninstall it right after. I have done this about 5+ times now. I just made a new one about 2 days ago with nothing but my favorite songs from this group I listen to. Greatest hits albums just don't cut it. I usually just buy my music from the store, but I like to make old school cds. And limewire is perfect for that. You should do a scan of your comp to see if you have any viruses before jumping to conclusions. Because like I said, downloading always makes computers run slower. The more you download at a time, the slower your computer runs.
