Do the results of limewire outweigh the risks?

If you are very careful, and keep your antivirus/antispyware programs updated,and scan regularly, you should be OK. I use limewire, and so far have had no problems. Though you can use only one antivirus at a time on your PC. I would suggest using more than one antispyware. My suggestions are Ad-aware and Window's Defender. They are both free,easy to use, and so far very reliable.
