I have been told that this site is great for downloading music. More out of
curiosity than anything I tried to visit it, but Trend warned me it was a
dangerous site. Fair enough. I wasn't that interested anyway.

I have since been told that I just need to adjust my Trend settings. As I
mentioned I am not that desperate- if I want music I will buy it.

However sites such as this- I understand they operate by grabbing portions
of the music from different computers and work around copyright in that
fashion. However, as you are accessing more computers there is an increasing
risk of a Trojan being hidden. This sounds pretty feasible- is it true or am
I being whooshed?

Limewire is just another P2P scheme. Participants end up with some or all
parts of a file on their host. That means you don't know what is on your
host. The FBI could care less that you claim stupidity when they find
kiddie porn on your host. I've been informed that many P2P users only
download and don't upload but also hear that limits their data rate (i.e.,
if you refuse to participate fully then you get throttled to be just a
leech). Since you have no control from which host you retrieve the files
or portions of them, you have no trust for those sources. Well, do you
download files from untrusted sites?

Screw LimeWire. Use uTorrent or BitLord. You'll have much better luck
with either of those two than you will LimeWire, eMule or BearShare
plus you don't have to worry about spyware bundled with the software.
