Default LimeWire admits bundling is dangerous

So according to the Wired article, LimeWire's Bildson says bundling Spyware is dangerous:

"It is hard to monitor the behavior of bundled software over the life of that software," Bildson said. "Changes can be made on the server after the fact that allow the software to become dangerous. We are looking for safer ways to support our free software installations without the dangers that are always presented by third-party bundled software."

So I suggest that until they find a better way to test and prevent spyware from installing without the user's notice, and trojans from infecting the user's system...stop bundling them !!!
