i already have limewire but seem to get plenty of virus,s i really dont want.i have heard of one that s name has something to do with dog. cant remember what its called. THANKS FOR ANY HELP
Quite honestly, I don't trust the answer from Mike C nor the guy above him. The fact that he even mentioned Kazaa leads me to believe the others he has recommended are also bad, because Kazaa is a bad one. The best one to you use is Napster. They charge a monthly subscription fee but you are not going to have to worry about spyware or other things getting into your system and ruining your computer. Napster is completely safe and fully legal. I have been a Napster user for a few years now on their paid subscription and I love it It's very easy to stream music, download songs, burn to a CD, etc. I think it's about $12-$14 per month. Another option would be to visit youtube.com and just do a search for the song you want and then save the videos. But, Napster is awesome! I can't live without it.
By the way, in response to the comment left by "Johnny13", he has given you some good advice to download Avast. I also use Avast--it is a free anti virus protection scanner which in my opinion is better than Norton & McAfee. As for "Frostwire", I cannot comment on that because I’ve never used it. It's not only a virus that can adversely affect your PC, but there could be spyware imbedded into the program after you download it. That's why I suggest Napster; you won't have to worry about any of that.
As good as Avast is, it does not detect spyware. To detect spyware, you can run a scan using a program called “Adaware” (made by Lavasoft). You can usually remove spyware using Adaware.
hands down, the best is frostwire, have used it for years, downloaded over 2,000 songs and never had a virus..................you just hafta know wat files are viruses and not download them, there is a way to tell if you know wat u r looking for.................also get avast, it works great with frostwire. will let you kno immediatly if you downloaded a virus.
There are lots of them but they all carry the risk of you downloading something unpleasant as they are all connected to each other. All these programs do is link user to user and they don't actually store any of the files themselves.
