Security Alert: Limewire shares more than your music Print E-mail

 There have been several security reports that Limewire, the popular File Sharing Application, allows other users to access the unshared files on your computer.  This doesn't affect all instances of the program, however to be safe, we are recommending that you remove any  versions of Limewire from your machine.  This can be done by going to your computer control panel- selecting Add or Remove Programs.  Selecting Limewire and selecting remove or uninstall. 

With this program running on your machine, there is a chance that people can access your personal data, including credit card numbers, etc.  Best to remove it ASAP!

 Regards
