No, but you will still have music on your computer you didn’t pay for! Thief!
Nope. You can still get viruses and such. l downloaded one music from there, and l had avast! Antivirus which has about 98% detection rate, and l ended up getting an extremely bad trojan horse and l tried everything from going into safe mode, using Superantispyware, Spybot, Windows defender, it didn’t even run because it was that bad, and in the end, l had to wipe the whole of my hard-drive and l lost absolutely everything, including all my pictures, music, & video’s – All of this because l downloaded ONE song from Limewire. lt’s really not worth the risk. l would just go on Play.com or Amazon MP3′s and buy a song from there for 70p.
It seems you’re only concerned with the safety of your computer and not your dishonesty

NO! After uninstalling the program you will be safe because when you download something from lime wire if it has a virus, your anti-virus will clean it up. Hint whenever you download a song, first check if it is 4-5 MB or higher then download if it is like 1 KB or 4kb do not download it because those are viruses.
Use Malwarebytes and keep updating and scan frequently along with your webroot AV, should do no harm.
I clean infected PCs for people and 9 times out of 10 they have Limewire installed, i never use P2P software.
stealing is stealing
and webroot anti vvirus ? there are better programs out there for that price
here are a few
G Data internet 25 bucks
avira prem 26 bucks
bitdefender 25 bucks
avast prem same
kaspersky internet security 2010 35 bucks on sale
You’re still vulnerable to lawsuits or criminal charges, since you’re breaking the law. And deleting Limewire could be seen as an attempt to destroy evidence, which means more charges.
