I'd assume not but I can't be 100% certain
Where did you read that LW's later versions have spyware? Are you sure that what you read there was true?

I've used LW since 4.0.8 & have never had a prob with malware. You'll have to make up your own mind as to whether you want to use it Just make sure that if you do use LW, you get it only from the official site (in my first post). Then, you'll be guaranteed a clean version.
