Here's a link to an independent recent study that proves LW contains no malware.

One program in my sample is notable not for its inclusion of bundled software but for its omission of such software. Not only did LimeWire not include bundled software, but in my testing it also did not show any advertisements beyond promotions for the paid version of LimeWire
Slashdot, slyck and p2pnet covered the news, so many had a chance to question the results, and LimeWire came out clean.

However, others have taken LW's open source code and repackaged it--and who knows what they have done to the code.

So--trust downloads from LimeWire's official links.
