LimeWire does not contain or install 'Trojans' on your machines.

PestPatrol is garbage. It reports finding instances of 'adware/spyware' because the 'definitions' that it uses were written by lazy idiots... In the case of LimeWire specifically, PestPatrol is using definitions which report ALL LimeWire files.
Hence, PestPatrol is garbage and you do yourselves no favours by using it.

Norton did NOT find a 'Tojan' installed by LimeWire on your machine. If... IF you were to read information from Norton you would understand that not all reports of 'hostile' findings are necessarily accurate. Further, if you were to find a 'Trojan' in one of your LimeWire folders, that does NOT indicate that the 'Trojan' was installed BY LimeWire.

I am not affiliated with LimeWire.
I am not trying to upset or insult you.
I AM TRYING to help you as it is clear that you need to become more familiar with certain aspects of using ANY applications that involve a connection with the internet.

Again, my comments about PestPatrol are quite correct and are not ill-advised or misplaced.

I would like to urge you to click on this link > Norton Security Response Virus Alerts and Definitions

You will find very much excellent information there and links to even more.
