Question WinMX?

Used to use this service to back-up my vinyl collection of old songs, rather than trying to transfer the records.

Is there any other service I can use to access a song collection to back-up my old songs?

Have heard bad stuff about that .................. invades your PC and Virus Ridden??

Or is that info. wrong?

WinMx was so simple, a stand-alone program ........ how long before the rest are shut down?

I downloaded the free Limewire from Here

I then searched for Limewire Pro and after a few dodgy copies got one that worked fine and its got a load of extra features. No need to pay

I'm gutted about WinMX to be honest. I did try Limewire a few months ago, then for some reason I had Bonzai buddy appear on my desk top.....Not good at all

Use spybot and Ad adware to remove anything about to infest your PC, and obviously a good virus detected!!
