You shouldn't get spyware from Limewire! You might be getting it from a file you downloaded through Limewire(Maybe)? Or you have a trojen/cookie that attached itself to LimeWire. Also it is not a good idea if a person downloads Limewire from an untrusted source, because this source can add any program along with Limewire and then both would be installed. I suggest trying Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal from: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ Iv'e been using AD-Aware for years now and it works perfect. It has very good reviews. Also everybody that I know uses it and they just love it! The Personal adition is also freeware so it won't cost you anything. Cheers |

Might I also suggest you get Spybot - Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html (FREE) And to add to the tool list you might also consider: Peerguardian: http://peerguardian.methlabs.org/pg2.html (FREE) which will detect any organisations trying to access your port 6346 & block them. Adware, Spybot & Peerguardian I'd recommend as safe utilities to use with LW. Many others don't work properly or have spyware themselves lol Magnet links are sometimes seen as spywares so the above utilities should not give you incorrect findings. But make sure your utilities are up to date. (Oh by the way, some other p2p share programs do have either spyware or adware. LW does not!)
