This is the real danger of ad/spy ware. All the assurances a developer may give are worthless if they themselves don't even know what's being installed.

Perhaps we need to ask the Lime developers - how can we ever trust them after they *admit* they've no control over their own product? How do they know other nasties aren't already lying in wait on the HD's of their unsuspecting users? Even when the initial install is ok, there's always the chance the adware will do a behind the scenes "software update" and change that.

These companies are the lowest of the low. This would be illegal done by a person rather that a corporation - these guys are just crying for a class action suit. Developers who fall into their clutches are dooming themselves. You can be sure the slimeware execs will sacrifice and destroy the Limewires of the world before they themselves are finally drowned in their own filth.
