When you install limewire you get the OPTION to install 2 spyware/adware components. Even if you choose not to install the two, a third one, the one that serves the ads, is still installed. The company, cydoor, that serves the ads has been known to distribute spyware. As far as I can tell your dll only prevents the ads from being displayed and does not prevent the spying. On limewire.org they have the source code for limewire w/out the ads. I was wondering if anyone has compiled this source code. If I had the knowledge I would do it , but unfortunately the only languages I know are Q-BASIC and TI-BASIC. Basically my goal is to get a fully functioning version of limewire w/out Cydoor.
