Only if you had it plugged in and you downladed a file that contained a virus, and it somehow managed to get in. But if that happens, just use something like malwarebytes antimalware, and scan the drive you plugged it in at. This will remove any virus you have picked up.

Does LimeWire always give you viruses?
Limewire doesn't always give your computer viruses. You would get a virus from Limewire if you downloaded a file with a virus in it. But if you use Limewire, you need to be really careful. A lot of Limewire's files contain viruses. Not every single one of them, but a lot of them contain a virus.
Will LimeWire give you viruses when you download?
When you download limewire it doesn't give you a virus. Each song you download holds a virus. The longer you have the song, the bigger the virus gets. Later the virus will get so big that your computer won't work. The above answer is wrong. Downloading Limewire will not give you a virus, nor will the songs it has. As long as you have good protection on your computer, it will be fine.

Will LimeWire give your dell inspiron with Windows 7 and avg free virus protection viruses?
LimeWire may give a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 and AVG virus protection viruses. This is because no matter what the person is downloading to the computer, unless it is from a trusted source, anything may be in the file. LimeWire has been known to give many computers viruses.
Can you get viruses from Linewire on a PC?
Yeah, LimeWire is dangerous and can give you viruses IF the file you download has a virus in it because the one that sumited the file to Limewire would have a virus in his PC and might not know it, or he/she just wants to give it to other people. And from what I heard, NO virus protection can stop the virus from coming into the computer because you downloaded the file which was the virus. I used Limewire for a long time last year and I never caught a virus, I was aware of the dangers, but I had no other choice but now I have a GOOD source in music and videos. So it's best to not use Limewire. If you want to know just leave me a message on my message board-my name is BiggMikeHarris.
