I have had a bad experience with not downloading a program that will protect my computer. One day after a long day from work I came home to found that my computer would not start. I asked my son about it and he said he didn't know what was wrong. I then took my computer to a computer tech and he told me that my computer was infected from a virus and the virus came from the LimeWire program. If you don't know what LimeWire is, it is the same program that lets your kids download music. Come to found out my son had downloaded a porn video from LimeWire and it was filled with virus. This cost me 200 dollars to fix a problem I could have avoided if I didn't rely on the free software that I had downloaded.
