Does lime wire add a lot of pop-ups and slow down your computer?
Yes it does. Those are called Malware, for malicious software. 1 in 9 downloaded files are malware, or have some type of virus in them, or are just a virus by themselves.
I by no ability had any problems with Limewire messing up my pcs overall performance in my view, yet once you're asking approximately your pc's protection, there are different pretend downloads which will provide your pc viruses. My terrific suggestion is to preview the record in the past you end the obtain. If Limewire is rather messing up your pcs overall performance, uninstall it. in the experience that your pc maintains to run slowly, verify for viruses...
limewire itself does not but you should just watch what you download. In general audio files wont do anything bad, movies might, and programs are very bad especially if they are .zip. I use ARES because it is much more safer. The files people get are automatically uploaded from their computer if the file is in the ARES folder meaning the programs are put on without anyone's consent and no one can put a virus on it because they would be screwing up their own computer. But don't worry to make sure what others are downloading from your computer on ARES. Right click any file and click locate file. And the folder that it shows is what anyone can download.
Lime wire won't do anything harmful to your computer, unless you dl a fake version of lime wire. It is the software, program, w/e you download from lime wire can mess up your computer because they might contain viruses. So, I suggest you scan the file that u downloaded from lime wire first before opening it.
