Yes, as I stated before for the people (you) who dont know what they're doing to install the Windows version (ads) then extract the "Others" version over your windows install. Of course cydoor will be there, but then you can run ad-ware to get rid of it.

2. The version is identified in the Help menu as 1.8b not 1.8c, as expected.
uhh yeah, because 1.8b is a public release. 1.8c is still beta!

3. The performance reminded me of early versions of LimeWire: sluggish, nonresponsive and thoroughly unstable. My system froze numerous times, apparently without cause. On other occasions, the program would simply exit to the desktop without prompting. What happened to all the preceding improvements in performance?
I dont think its the software. I think its the user.

4. The program wouldn't retain my selection of files for sharing. I had to reconfigure sharing each time I rebooted...usually to recover from a LimeWire freeze.
Mine is working fine and I've done exactly what I've stated before....
