This is a common misconception. Limewire does not allow a user to control your computer or access anything you tell it not to. The problem is that many people keep personal documents in the same folder as the download directory for LimeWire. This means that whenever you are sharing music files on your computer, you may inadvertently share personal information.
LimeWire is also a common venue for people to download viruses and other forms of malware. However, this is due to carelessness, and has nothing to do with the way LimeWire actually works.
What else can I help you with?
When you have LimeWire can other people get into what you are doing while downloading something?
Not if you set it up properly. The person or people who you are downloading whatever from can see that you are downloading it and can stop you, but they can't control or access your computer apart from that. Anybody can access the files which you have set the be "shared." To see and change which files are shared, press tools -> options -> sharing and you'll see a list of folders. Anything in these folders can be accessed (but not changed or deleted). By default, Limewire shares your My Music folder and will also ask to search your computer for other shareable files. I would not recommend this, but instead keep one or two folders that you use only for sharing things on Limewire and do not keep confidential or personal files in them. To be sure others cannot access your system, it's a good idea to keep Windows updated and to use a firewall. I have linked this FAQ to others on those subjects.

Is LimeWire good?
NO! some people say they don't get viruses but eventually they do. a bunch of my friends tried using it, and a few got viruses right away, but others didn't get them until a few months. The virus goes through your whole system and completely crashes your computer. All my friends had to get new computers. Plus, limewire is illegal.
