At the top of my page there are ads for Spy ware and Ad ware detectors. Use them. Grokster and Kazaa are only bad in so far as they do install too much of what we don't want; spy ware and ad ware. Somewhere along the line we must learn to trust something. I trust LimeWire. No passwords, no ip scans, no popups or popunders, no adware, no spyware, nothing, Nada. If it did I would be the first to SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!!!

If you ever downloaded Kazaa, Grokster, ICQ, or AOL to name a few, you will find so much garbage in your registry it will hours to clean the registry. I have never found so much as a (, )from LimeWire.

Finally got a chance to search my registry same results as bob. Sorry you must have got them from somewhere else but not LW

It does contain adware. I went to the correct site and download the free version. I scanned by computer and every time I download limeware it contains all of these files including adware. Maybe the purchased version doesn't contain adware, but the free one does and NO it's not a bogus site that I'm going through. I download winmx and it doesn't contain any of that spyware or adware mess--but it's trippin, so I downloaded limeware. After I download my music, I just delete every file, by going to search and type in limeware and all of those files come up. I just delete every single one.

Guys

I've grown wary of this discussion, I will no longer take part in it because there will always be some inexperienced newbie saying that LW has adware in it.

JustCurious2005

Rather than just saying LW has adware why don’t you provide some proof?

Hey Bob should have used your approach but I didn't just for the fun of it I downloaded basic installed it scanned it and have no idea what dorkster above oops I mean JustCurious2005 is talking about search limewire delete files maybe if we are lucky he will delete limewire and we wont see him back here showing his intelligence. Any way sorry DUDE NO SPYWARE.............

O-whell I will probably get in trouble for this one just getting tired of people talking out of there ***

Face!!! don't respond to me anymore--you are taking this shitttt a little too serious aren't you? Who gives a flying fukc. I do get adware when I download limewire. Why the hell would I lie. DORK? ha...ha--you sound like the damnnn dork. Maybe you don't get it on your computer, but I sure do get it on my fukcing computer. Limewire is a good program to download music, but I still get that mess when I download it everytime. Don't respond to me you god-amn tard. I will not be responding back to you-- crazy azzz.

Hi JustCurious2005

As has been said all along in this thread. The official version of LimeWire basic and pro have no spyware.

Now if you got your version from an unofficial website, which there are know to be some, then it is possible those websites have loaded it down with spyware. After all LimeWire is open source.

This topic has been discussed numerous times. Do a forum search and you will see.

And there is no need to insult or flame each other. Read the Forum Rules. Enough said.

To end up this disscussion, cause its getting out of hand. There probally isn't anything in LW. but on my comput there is. Maybe because I got LW Pro off LW. I don't know. but it doesn't really matter. what matters is that we dont get caught downloading copyrighted materials.

ummm...
