Limewire vulnerabilities
Guys i read from a limewire pro version's read me file ( Version Limewire 4.1.2 - 4.5.6) that "Recent versions of the LimeWire client contain vulnerabilities that allow a remote user access
to many or all files on a users machine. LimeWire is a popular client for the
Gnutella filesharing network.
Linux and Windows platforms are both vulnerable."
is this true if so how can i protect my files from being downloaded b others is this possibl eonly during a session of limewire or even if i am connected to the net and not using Limewire

LimeWire Chief Technology Officer Greg Bildson said the Cornell team notified the company of the flaw several weeks ago, and that the software has already been updated and a patch released to users. Any consumers who have not already updated their software should do so as soon as they come online, he added
