Yes it's safe! lol :D Just don't check it with M$'s spyware app b/c it doesn't work properly which is not surprising for M$. Like the new Windows errors M$ just discovered :D

LW took out a help file that could be seen as a spyware article by most spyware apps back about 5 months ago I think. See: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml

I assure you it's safe. Just have reliable protections apps around. eg: a reliable AV app, ad-ware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
& Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
& Spy Sweeper http://www.webroot.com/wb/downloads/index.php

Just FYI, the latest configuration update to Microsoft's Anti-Spyware fixed the problem with magnet false-positives. So Anti-Spyware is fine now (assuming you let it auto-update its configuration file).
