my parents won't let me download it because they say it's illegal and it probably gives you a bunch of viruses. is this true?

Viruses? Nooo....you're thinking of Kazaa.
I've been using LimeWire for the past 6 months and all I can say is I have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. NO advertisements, no viruses, no pop-ups, no crap, no nothing.
I remember I had used Kazaa for quite a while on my old comp--it was horrible. A lot of pop-up ads, banner ads, and other crap. PLus it reaaaaaaaaaally slowed down my comp.
LimeWire is good, you gotta download it!

The program itself, to my knowledge, shouldn't be illegal; however, downloading anything that's copyrighted technically is, and with the RIAA breathing down everyone's necks, I think your parents are probably right there...
I know that Kazaa will give you spyware, and I assume that it would be the same with Limewire...so no, I don't think it will give you viruses, but it will give you spyware, which slows down your computer and is just an annoying little b10tch. :razz:

Viruses? Always. Illegal, probably.
I used to download it and my computer would fuck. So I'd reformat, download it, my computer'd fuck, etc. Then I caught on. :P
