Good info.... I thought I would post this response I got from the Limewire tech support in regard to my challenge of them including spyware (Grokster and KaZaa) in their software. It appears that I was, in fact, incorrect in my assumption that these items were spyware...although I have switched to Frostwire, it would appear that Limewire is fine if you fine tune your security to ignore these items and you are comfortable with these additional programs on your pc..:) Here is their response: "Grokster" and "Kazaa" are the name of *programs;* please do the research. LimeWire contains no adware or spyware of any kind. Many poorly-written antispyware programs will incorrectly classify peer-to-peer filesharing programs as containing spyware, when they do not. If you wish to use a reliable program, your best bet would be to get Ad-Aware. Also, please note that LimeWire is software that allows users to connect directly to other users' computers, and share files with them. We have no foreknowledge of, nor control over, what users decide to share over the Gnutella network, we do not place any files on the network for users to download, nor do we make any guarantee that you will find the files you are searching for. If you download a file that contains spyware, you will get spyware on your computer; LimeWire has no control over this. |
Thats great now you can use Limewire....;) |
Why did you ever doubt that Limewire had no spyware? All AV apps will detect it as such, which, it isn't. Its one of the very few apps that is spywear free. All the others are riddled with Spywear, including Bearshare. |
