Does LimeWire give others complete access to your computer?

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.

Can you download music from LimeWire store without an account?

LimeWire has started operating a store selling MP3 files in the US. An account is needed to access these files. In general LimeWire is not a store. LimeWire is software that connects your computer to other peoples computer (See links below) and they are connected to yours. You are sharing files (usually) illegally between computers. You have no way of knowing who you are connecting to, or who is connecting to you, or just what is in the file you are downloading - many will contain viruses etc. that can damage your computer.
