Unfortunately there's no 100% secure method for using a peer-to-peer program such as LimeWire . The hard truth is that you're allowing direct remote access to your system from outside sources over an insecure connection, thus allowing it to completely bypass your firewall. You're also downloading data which is executable (yes, even music, pictures and videos contain executable code which can be malicious) which hasn't been checked by any trustworthy source to be determined safe. Downloading software is certainly the most risky, as it would be the easiest thing to hide something such as a trojan in, but it goes much deeper than that, especially when dealing with file infectors such as Virut and Sality. I've seen too many cases where a user was helped to get their system cleaned up after being infected using P2P software only to return infected once more from using the same software again . It's just far too easy to be infected and I don't know of any truly secure way to go about it, although I will admit that I did use it myself in the past, but not very often. After investigating it myself quite a bit and learning all I could about being "safe" while using it, I found the same answer that I just gave you: there is no truly safe or effective means to use it and avoid getting hit, it's Russian Roullette and only a matter of time. Then of course, as I'm sure you're quite aware, there's the legal issue. Regardless of how you feel or what excuses may be used (yes, I know, data is data and it's just 1's and 0's), someone put in a lot of time, work and money into what they've created and they're only trying to make a living at what they're doing just like everybody else, and stealing their work to avoid having to pay for it doesn't do anyone any good except yourself and can hurt those whose work you like so much that you don't find it worth paying for, but certainly worth risking infecting your computer for.
I back up exactly what Exile just said, it's just not safe. I admit I too used it in the past. I stopped using it more than two years ago because I felt bad about what I was doing, and I couldn't justify it any longer. I only downloaded songs here and there, not a large number, but that really isn't the point.

The US is pondering a crackdown on peer-to-peer file sharing programs after details of a Secret Service safe-house location for President Barack Obama and his family were found being traded on LimeWire.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Edolphus Towns said during a hearing on the safety of peer-to-peer software that he was astonished at privacy breaches involving LimeWire, operated by the Lime Group.
Using LimeWire, people have been able to access FBI files, medical records, Social Security numbers and even a file containing information about a safe-house location for Mr Obama and his family, Mr Towns said.
Mr Towns said he also planned to meet the new Federal Trade Commission chairman to request that the agency investigate whether inadequate safeguards on file-sharing software such as LimeWire constituted an unfair trade practice. An FTC spokesman did not have an immediate comment.
MuWire was released in August 2020 as a free software program resembling LimeWire. Developed by a former LimeWire developer, it uses I2P to anonymize connections and transfers.[32] MuWire's developer had purchased the limewire.com domain after it had been allowed to expire, and redirected traffic to MuWire's website for approximately two years, until finally selling it to an unaffiliated party.[33]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a consumer alert citing safety issues associated with p2p file-sharing. Here are the FTC's two main concerns when using file-sharing software like LimeWire:
In July of 2004, version 4.1.1 introduced "file view," which allowed users to share files through a URL. Other individuals could use this URL either to download the file straight from the web, or from LimeWire. Version 4.10.6 was released in February of 2006 and altered the search process to make it quicker and to filter out spam. This version also allowed for international characters to be used in searches, and it set the search to automatically filter junk results to the bottom of the list. Version 4.11 was launched in March 2006 and took a big step towards safety. LimeWire would now display messages notifying the user whether or not a particular file was safe to download. Furthermore, an image of a lock was placed next to secure results in a search. Finally, version 5.3 Beta introduced the obscene content filter.

If you are asking yourself if it is safe to remove limewire.exe from your Windows system then it is understandable that it is causing trouble. limewire.exe is not a critical component and a non-system process. Any process that is not managed by the system is known as non-system processes. It is safe to terminate the non-system process as they do not affect the general functionality of the operating system. However, the program using the non-system processes will be either terminated or halted.
Any given process has a process identification number(PID) associated with it. A user can easily identify and track a process using its PID. Task Manager is a great way to learn how much resources limewire.exe process is allocating to itself. It showcases process resource usage in CPU/Memory/Disk and Network. If you have a GPU, it will also showcase the percentage of GPU it is using to run the process.
