I have also written how to re-activate your Limewire Pro License Key if you lost it with the latest version here.

It is no secret that with file sharing comes lots of viruses. LimeWire, a once glorious file sharing program, has been getting worse and worse. There are almost no searches that you can do without running into corrupted downloads, viruses, and random advertisement files.

In LimeWire 5.5.0 Beta and above, they have incorporated AVG Anti-Virus. AVG runs silently in the background, requiring zero intervention. It even downloads the latest definitions via LimeWire automatically. It comes enabled by default and even scans partially downloaded files.

Theoretically, if all users upgrade to LimeWire 5.5.0 beta and above, all the viruses will be eliminated. In the real world this won’t happen but it sure as heck will help. I welcome this add-on for sure, although I would’ve preferred if they gave the user the choice whether to delete the file or not, as they currently do not.
