Angry Shame on LimeWire's (lack of) advertising standards!

It is one thing to push advertisements to customers with "free" versions of your software,
but it is another thing to either show reckless indifference, or worse, actively collude with advertisers to create endless pop-up windows, attempted virus and other disk file downloads, and attempting to run insecure ActiveX objects rather than ads staying with in their X-by-Y pixel sponsor box.

LimeWire has a responsibility to reject these malicious ads and not push them onto its community which means that it has to pay attention and set legally binding standards that its sponsors must meet!

LimeWire.com is headed for a class action lawsuit if they dont quit endangering the systems of those whom they push free software upon as enticements to give LimeWire access to their systems.

LimeWire, Insure that no more of these ads are downloaded by your software into our systems, OR, provide us with a non-advertising version in the mean time. Since LimeWire did not make it clear that the "free" version would create streams of popup windows that create new windows when the old ones are closed, and would try to download and run viruses, worms, etc, the non-advertising replacement should also be a free download. We have no incentive to gather others with similar problems to form a large united group to press these demands if you do the right thing now.
