Lime spyware!
 
The Limewire site assures you that it doesn't add Spyware, but, after I installed Limewire, Pest Patrol showed up the following:

Backdoor.IRC.contact
KaZaA
Slackbot 1.0
DasHackerArchivDialer

...if I "quarantine" these four Spyware programs, Limewire will not run until I "UN-quarantine" them. I also checked the references to the Registry that Pest Patrol noted and found the Spyware to be actually NOT listed in the Registry the way Pest Patrol stated it was. Anyone know what's happening and if I actually have malicious Spyware on the hard drive?

Two that are free & trusty: ad-ware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
