I have heard many people that has downloaded a virus from using limewire. But have those people had virus protection installed in their computer? Besides, I know virus protection updates don’t always come out with a solution fast enough for some new virus’.

I got one from limewire. I don’t think your virus protection is going to stop them all after all it is the virus protection companies making them, unless you have all the newest programs, updates and whatever else they want you can still get a virus.
Virus protection companies make viruses because they didn’t make alot of money before. The best way to generate profits is to create a need. Who else knows viruses better then the people who can make software to counter them.
Virus protection companies are terrorist in a way.
it can happen from anything you download even if its from a reliable source in other words try not to download anything thats not necessary
It can easily happen if you play or open the file before scanning it wth your antivirus.
AV programs search for known viruses. If a virus is yet unknown you could have trouble. Download from trusted sites & save the download to your Desktop. Scan the new folder with your AV program & check to see the file isn’t going to install any other malware with your other scanners. When you allow & install downloads you are at risk, they can be bad & you can allow them past your protection.
