      Limewire itself doesn't, but the things you download may have something attached to it. Always scan with a decent virusscanner before you open it.

      Not limewire (or any other P2P software) in itself but what and from whom you download with it. Be extra carefull.
      BTW in DC++ (like
      http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/File-Sharing/StrongDC.shtml) you can actually see the viruses in your download queue screen: they have the same name as the legit files with an.exe at the end.

      You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, because your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.
