Yes it will. You could very easily download virus and spyware. Not to mention if caught end up like this girl.

I would suggest using itunes, it's safer and you wont get into any trouble.

When you are downloading a movie or song or something from Limewire, you are allowing that file into the computer. In other words, you are trusting it. However, sometimes the files aren't always trustworthy and they will turn out to be viruses or spyware. They will infect your computer because you have allowed them (the file you downloaded from Limewire) to enter your system. The file will most likely be compressed into a winrar or winzip file. Once you open this up, a virus may spring out. After the virus is released, you may get rid of it using your protection programs but the best protection against these viruses is prevention.
