Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Not 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.

Answer 4

FrostWire is a program that downloads applications from the internet. It can sometimes hold or harbor malicious software that can seriously infect a computer.
