I don't think all of this TrueStarwarrior bashing would have started, if it wasn't for his very first two rude posts in this thread. The very first poster in this thread was angry that trojans and spyware were installed on his system, and without any warnings, and this software was still available for download. I think he (and for that matter, all of us) had a right to be angry and post his feelings and concerns. Especially since several people in other earlier threads reported this problem also, but never got a response back from LimeWire. Both LimeWire's website and their version 2.x software has links to this forum for support. That makes this forum their official support site forum. That very first thread was not aimed at TrueStarwarrior, it was aimed at LimeWire. But for some reason, he thought the very first post was a personal attack on him. He decided to be rude and childish and post those first couple of replies. I think that was wrong...especially for a moderator !! Period and end of story. I think if he didn't respond in the way he did, the childish flaming that has gone on between him and other users would have never happened. I personally think that if TrueStarwarrior wants to continue being a moderator, he should not take posts aimed at LimeWire as personal attacks on him, and if he feels the need to respond to a post, he needs to act professionally.

The problem would have been easly discovered if they just would have done basic testing on the third-party software they decide to bundle. This problem is their fault for not doing basic tests. Being ignorant to a law, doesn't give you a defense in a court of law. I think the same holds true here. This trojan and spyware problem is equally LimeWire's fault.

I totally agree. It definitely was LimeWire's fault. But there's no need to endlessly discuss this point if the whole thing is over and done with. I am positive the limefolks have learned their lesson and that things like that will not happen again in the near future.

trustarwarrior will not return to read in or post on this thread. limewire did apologize. the spyware seems to be out of version 2.0.4. tru hosts clean limewire. it is my opinion that everything that had to be said here has been said and that any further discussion of things is a waste of time.

TruStar said something about leaving the forums in a PM he sent me ...

Too bad . :(

Damn it! I hope he will think about it again!

How badly infected is Limewire?
 

I'm a really big fan of LimeWire as their Software and Download speeds are superior to anything else I've tried, but even with a strong Anti-virus package and firewall, I'm consistantly told by computed technicians that LimeWire is dangerous. 3 times limewire has been connected to rendering my Laptop inoperable and cost £75 every time I need to get it repaired. I just need to know, is LimeWire the problem or possibly the files I download (Only Music and Videos) because I really don't want to stop using it.

Thanks for replying. I most recently had the free version (basic) but it was the most up to date release.

First Time i was Using McAfee Firewall with AVG 7.0 Free
Then Windows One Care Live Beta

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated
