That's fair enough to be skeptical. But you should also be skeptical about spyware programs b/c many don't work properly & some themselves have spyware. lol I discovered that after visiting a spyware forum. I can assure you LW does not have spyware. It was taken out in the 1st 4.0 version I think it was.

See last post here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=31862 You should get a recommended set of utilities for support. Visit the spyware forum to see that the majority don't work properly anyway. They list the ones that do work well & reliably.
