Just found this in "osX:"

"I downloaded, for the first time, the latest limwire basic per a friends suggestion earlier today. Then in a CLIENT presentation about an hour later - using os x ie 5.1, the URL was re-directed to limewire.com to buy the pro version - by no action on my part - I was presenting and wasn't even touching the computer."

Sounds a lot like this post:

"How's this? Try buying something from OfficeDepot with [s]LimeShop installed.

I'm perfectly happy with ads on the client. I can live (although not necessarily happily) with referral IDs being added to URLs for shopping sites I'm already visiting. No farking way am I going to leave something on my machine that redirects www.officedepot.com to www.officemax.com/referrer=limeware.

I avoided Gator & OC. I wasn't given the opportunity to avoid LimeShop. Ad-aware didn't pick it up, and it took a good half hour of my time before I noticed it in my program list. Limeware is gone, along with any chance of them seeing $8.50 from me."
