Yes actually from former knowledge i have gained there is! I wanted music from my friends computer he gave it to me. But it was downloaded from a BitTorrent website(for free music).Little did i know i opened a file and ended up getting a virus from it that plays music randomly.Even when all programs are closed!!! From what i have heard it attaches itself to your Web browser and begins to randomly play verry odd commercials or music as a parody of what real radio may sound like. Ive even heard of classical rock or middle eastern music on my computer when my internet is on.
Ive been told it recently has been brought to the forground of new viruses out there and that there is no way to get rid of it. My father has been an IT specialist for the most part of 25 years and he can only see one way of getting rid of it re-load windows and wipe the hard drive clean. This virus has been on my computer playing vulgar commercials with taunting phrases like "whoos your daddy i am"(evil laugh) for about 2 weeks.

Due to being able to pay for grooveshark, it has no virus that anyone is aware of. Also, since you are not downloading anything into your computer, it is harder to put a virus in there.
No. Limewire (the free version) without you noticing will fill your computer with all sorts of files that are viruses. Limewire PRO now comes with an anti-virus...
