Downloading MP3’s

Do you download music from Limewire a Peer-to-Peer file sharing website?  Apart from being able to download the MP3 music files of your choice, you also have to share some of your own MP3’s so that other members may access and upload tracks from them.

It is vital that you choose a separate individual folder in which to download your Limewire MP3 music tracks.  Never use My Documents as a place to store your MP3 downloads because to do so, you place every document within My Documents at risk of being downloaded also.  If you have personal information files in My Documents, I am sure you would like to keep them private.

Have you had any problems associated with your use of Limewire?  Unfortunately, many people have.  However, if you follow the advice of the previous paragraph any untoward nasty attachments will be localized in that folder only.

It would also be in your best interests to have your computer protected by a well known anti-spyware program and make a point of upgrading your spyware program’s protection by regularly checking for and installing updates.

There are 2 anti-spyware programs highly recommended – AntiSpyware Bot which removes spyware only and it not suitable for use with Window’s Vista.  The other program is AntiSpyware which has been certified as Vista friendly, and it has the added bonus of being an adware removal tool as well.

Just remember, forearmed is forewarned.
