ive had limewire for a while and i have never got a virus from it yet. you just have to watch out for what you are downloading. and make sure to never touch files that are very small or are an "exe" type file.

for music only download mp3, wma, ogg, wav.
for videos only download wmv mpeg mpg mov ogg avi (and iso/bin if they burn as compliant)
for pictures jpg jpeg gif png bmp .

for wma/wmv make sure you dont agree to any license/software installations that you are asked about and youll be fine. definately dont download con, bat, exe, pif, etc.etc. theres more but stick with the list above and you shouldnt have any problems.

Torrents are no different from Morpheus, Limewire, etc.
Bunch of Peers Sharing shit.
Except Torrents have less viruses/spyware.
I remember downloading a movie off morpheus and it ended up being a porno.
