Clicktilluwin game This program isn't some elaborate trojan program bend on wreaking havoc on the internet, it's just BS ad-ware. If you go to their site http://www.clicktilluwin.com/clickprivacyterms.htm they'll tell you everything about it, and how to remove it. There are much more nefarious programs out there then this. Check out www.cexx.org Jon wagoneer1985 at yahoo.com |

This software opens a security hole in your system by downloading and execututing files. What prevents them (clicktouwin) or somebody else to download and execute files from this hole ? This program also reports info about your system. Also they try to trick the user that's it is a valid window file trying to access the internet, by naming itself the name of "Explorer.exe". Pretty sneaky !! This is far more then a simple ad-ware, but even so, this is ad-ware that LimeWire did not test or tell us that this was going to be installed on our system. I am glad that LimeWire finally prevented version 2.02 from being download by more people, and posted a warning on their website. But there is more to be done and I don't understand why it has not been done yet. Many people do not have anti-virus, or the current definitions. They need to be provided some kind of fix, either manual or automatic, to remove this trojan. They also need to provide the users more details about this trojan. Many are well known now. Also, it would be nice for them to provide answers to some of the very valid questions posted in this thread. What haven't they bothered to respond ? |
Yes you can run LW by just doubleclicking runlime.jar . Linking to it won't work but doubleclicking the file directly does launch LW fine . If it aint supposed to work thatway why does it do om my comp ?? |
Bad news Limewire is getting a bad rep on some of the boards I go to, it even made the news in a negative way. I think it'll be awhile before people start trusting this P2P again. Wired.com http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,49430,00.html Oh yes, and please get rid of the grumpy moderator trustar, Thanks... |
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 !!! |
WHAT A JOKE! i just installed this tonight.... thanks for the trojan.... good luck with future releases... you guys are REAL pros... |
