Does Frostwire give you viruses

Answer 1

Answer

It is possible. Be sure to scan any downloads with your anti-virus software.

Yes you might I did and my computer restarted whenever I ran Limewire, I got the virus a few days after I downloaded Limewire and I uninstalled Limewire and reinstalled it but it kept restarting my computer so I couldn't use it again and then even when I uninstalled it it restarted my computer for no reason and the virus wont get picked in my anti virus software.

Answer 2

No. Limewire does not give you a virus. Like many tools that connect to the internet, Limewire can be used to download a virus. This is no difference than downloading an infected file through your web browser or email client. Avoiding infected files on Limewire is very easy. Limewire includes the ability to look up files through an external service known as Bitzi, where people can report if files are legitimate, virus-free, and of good quality. If the file has only bad reviews, or has none at all, just don't download it.

Tip:

Avoid downloading dangerous file types...

The below list may not contain all the dangerous file types.

*.exe (Executable Files / Programs)

*.bat (Batch Files)

*.com

*.vbs

*.pif

*.scr (Screen Savers)

*.shs

*.lnk

*.js (Java Script)

*.*.* (Files that have more that one file extention, example: screensaver.txt.exe)

*.zip (Compressed files that contain one or more of the above file types.)

Most infected files on Limewire contain the words "cracked", "keygen", "full version", or "with serial".

If you decide to download an infectable file type, make sure that you have a good anti-malware scanner like MalwareBytes, at http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php

Answer 3

downloading limewire software does not give you a virus...the files that are downloaded from limewire like downloading music can give you a virus, that's why I do not use limewire or frostwire or any file-sharing websites, because my past experience with file-sharing websites and limewire was not pleasant.
