LimeWire Adds AVG Protection to Its P2P Client (Pro Version)

LimeWire is trying  its best to keep its popularity, legit appearance and relevance in the business. The company has recently announced their plans to secure their network.

Says the press release: "LimeWire Pro users will see the 'Protected by AVG' assurance whenever a downloaded file is safely scanned and cleaned." It's great to see a developer taking a proactive approach. Plenty of P2P users don't understand the risks associated with what they're downloading, so I appreciate LimeWire doing something to mitigate that risk.

As expected, the new protection feature will only be included on LimeWire's pro version (the one you pay for) probably to make it more appealing for people who really want to spend money on file sharing apps.

Jason Herskowitz, VP Product Management for LimeWire, states "LimeWire is committed to providing peer-to-peer's best user experience and we are vigilant about user security." He continues, "We are always looking for ways to improve, and with AVG's seamless integration into LimeWire, we will be providing users with peer-to-peer's most secure technology."
