As I was looking for some cool freeware on download.com, I sorted the list by downloads and to my dismay Limewire was the 5th most downloaded program last week. I could not believe that 567,044 people downloaded this vile piece of software last week.

For those who are new to Limewire, you need to know that Limewire is one of the worst pieces of software that you can have on your computer. Limewire is a file sharing program in which people can trade files. Most of the sharing that goes on is illegal music and movie downloads but some of the sharing is legal. Being that most of the traffic is pirated music, you can almost expect that you will be infected with malware at some point in the near future.  I highly recommend that you uninstall the program if you have it installed.

To find out if you have Limewire on your computer:

1. Go to add/remove programs in your control panel
2. Find Limewire in the list
3. If you see Limewire in the list click remove
4. Follow the instructions and uninstall it
5. Run your antivirus and antispyware scans to make sure you are not infected.
6. Relax, you are now safe
