Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Spyware in Limewire ??? Although it is repeated all over www.limewire.com that Limewire has no Adware or Spyware, Pest Patrol reports many DLL's included in the Limewire installation as Spyware or malicious code. Who should I believe in? SheenGone |

| Limewire does contain spyware. In fact, it contains a few traces of it, including PRO. It contains KaZaA, Grokster, and a few others. Grokster installs: Active Delivery, ******OnNet, ClipGenie, CommonName, Cydoor, DelFin Media Viewer, DownloadWare, eUniverse, FavoriteMan, FlashTrack, Gator, IGetNet, IGetNet/ClearSearch, IncrediFind, IPInsight, Look2Me, Lycos.SideSearch, NetworkEssentials, NetworkEssentials/SCBar, PeopleOnPage, RVP, SAHAgent, Search-EXE, SearchEnhancement, TOPicks, VX2/e, VX2/f, and Webhancer. It also degrades your network performance vastly. You can't fully remove KazaA and Grokster unless you remove limewire and scan your computer and remove these programs. These are located in the magnet folder and the registry. |

this is nonsense...did you download LW from a bogus site?..if you did that would explain all the crap it dumped on your computer...I use the top spyware scanners (ADAWARE,SPYBOT,SPYSWEEPER) and have NEVER ONCE found anything negative related to LW.....also....it could also be that the spyware you found was not part of LW but came from something you DOWNLOADED using LW...LW itself is clean. period. thank you and have a nice day |

| Imsteve, first I downloaded LW from this site: www.limewire.com. Second I also use top scanners(PestPatrol, Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot: Search and Destroy, Spy Sweeper, etc.) But I also searched the registry for keys which indicate what has been installed on my computer. I have tested LW and LW PRO they both have the same thing. |

| did your run tests on your computer before you installed limewire? limewire is opensource anyways, if you dont believe them, just look at the source code. |
|

| Yes I did run tests on my computer before limewire. I run tests every week. I have looked at the source code and I didn't find anything bad in it, but my question is why does limewire not let there be any clean limewires out (which the only one contains cydoor) and why is there no EULA with the software. |

| limewire comes ABSOLUTELY free of that crapware, if you dont want to install it, you can always download the source code and build it yourself, atleast thats peace of mind if you dont believe the folks at limewire. there is no EULA, well technically there is, but its called the GNU GPL (WWW.GNU.ORG) which is a license for free and open source software. [edited the gnu link: the tld is .org instead of .com like i had it before.] Last edited by ultracross : August 3rd, 2005 at 09:53 PM. |

| Thank You Ultracross for the GNU and I have tried to build limewire myself but every time I always get a problem with Ant. I've tried everything but it just doesn't work. |

| All of those extras...are things that Grokster installs. Mainly you'll find KaZaA and Grokster. Microsofts Beta does not find them. cheak your registry if you don't believe me. |

| Some antispyware proggies "suck" and do not find the real spywares. As soon as an app includes magnet link support, they find the "Grokster spyware" lol. Problem is that majora is using one of this POS apps. Get adaware, spybot or MS antispyware, they all really work. Hell some POS apps anti spywares even install their own spywares... Ho and majora, search the forum, this has been discussed to death: conclusion is that your app lies or is defective.

| I do have spybot, ad-Aware, and MS Antispyware Beta, and I know that some antispyware progs instal their own spyware but I have Looked in the REGISTRY and found that grokster and KaZaA is in there. Plus I have ran tons of tests expecially with disk space and internet activity a found grokster is on my comp. |

| Majora2007 Could you say where in your registry you found all those adware and spyware you have listed, a screen print of the registry area would be better. UK Bob |
