This software was part of clicktilluwin, which we bundled with LimeWire. Apparently Norton Antivirus started to consider it a "virus" on December 27th. I wouldn't call it a true virus since it doesn't propogate itself or inflict damage. But it is damn annoying and we would have never knowingly included it. We apologize that we couldn't respond faster.

We have created a new installer for Windows that does not included clicktilluwin. Please try it out at www.limewire.com/beta/2.0.3/win/LimeWireWin.exe and let us know if it solves the problem. If everything checks out ok, we will put it in the public upload area.

Thanks to those who have helped us track down the problem.

Default 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.
