No It lets in all kinds of bugs and pop ups that it can slow your computer down.
Actually, the program itself is not what is unsafe, but the things you download. Frostwire doesn't put anything on your computer which you didn't tell it to put there. Most of the time, the risk comes from executable files. Sometimes malicious files are given extensions other than .EXE, but sometimes a user may realize it has the wrong extension and rename it, then run it. Generally, downloading music, videos, or photos is safe since if it is the wrong format for the extension, the required application will not load it. It is possible to have a virus on your compuer without actually being infected with the virus. So the issue is not whether Frsotwire itself is unsafe, but more in how you use it.

∙ 11y agoNot in and of itself. What is harmful about it is when you download executable files and then run them. That is a way to get viruses or other malware. Or, if you are distributing content you are not supposed to using Frostwire or any other file-sharing program, the police might take your computer.

No, frostwire screwed up my computer and its impossibe to delete!!! It depends on the version of Limewire that you compare to frostwire. Frostwire has many features of Limewire Pro such as full time turbo charged downloads. Limewire has two versions the free version and the paid version with additional features while Frostwire only has a free version. Frostwire has a chat feature which both versions of Limewire lack but Limewire has an instant messenger.
Most of your songs on frostwire say that they are queued and are not downloading what does this mean?
Frostwire is peer to peer (P2P) software that creates a network connecting your computer to other people's computers and other people are connecting your computer. To download you are using the other computers power and bandwidth. If the other computer is not connected to the Internet and the FrostWire network then the songs from that computer will not be downloading but will be held in a queue ready to download whenever a connection is made.
