Hey guys. Well lately I've been practicing legato and have been having a problem muting the unwanted string vibration, so can you please give any advice or describe techniques you use to mute the unwanted strings. Thanks in advance.

I just lightly mute the strings with my pickhand. I never really gave it any thought till now =/

Accuracy really is the name of the game here, and that will come with time and careful practice...
most of the time you'll be picking at least some of the notes during a legato phrase (normally the first note of any pull off sections) so you will have your picking hand to help keep things clean.
Practice your legato on one string at a time to begin with, making sure its clean and you've got your right hand muting the other 5 strings.
Left hand fingers can also be used to stop unwanted string noise.

So there isn't really any way to play perfectly cleanly with only one hand? Because I've seen it on Youtube.

Like the man said, practice. It's all about accuracy.
Accuracy itself doesn't take much -- 20 minutes - half an hour a day. Getting it fast is the tricky part.
