LimeWire does not contain anything of that sort. I myself know this as a fact, I have seen the code myself. I am also a developer for FrostWire so I can attest to that fact since I work with the codebase frequently.

If your Spyware/Adware detects this in LimeWire but not FrostWire, then I can assume that your "Yahoo Anti-Spy" or whatever is not correctly identifing malware.

One reason you may see LimeWire being detected but not FrostWire:

Some (bad or crappy) Spyware/Adware detection programs assume any program that sets the "magnet:" protocol in your registry is Spyware/Adaware and will associate any program the protocol links to with it.

The reason FrostWire is not detected (i assume by Yahoo! Anti-Spy) is because *I* have not enabled the magnet protocol support in FrostWire (because I have not found a way to correctly enable support for it yet). And once I do enable it, Yahoo! Anti-Spy will probably detect FrostWire ALSO as containing Adware/Spyware.

Yahoo! Anti-Spy (i assume) WRONGLY detects the magnet protocol as being associated with Adware/Spyware/Malware.

My personal advice: Drop Yahoo! Anti-Spy immediately as it gives out false positives that are not reliable. The only Adware/Spyware detect I trust and use is Ad-Aware SE personal. Its the only program you will need to detect such things. And it rarely ever has false positives. They also correctly identify such things and do not wrongly associate the magnet protocol.

Once again, LimeWire nor FrostWire contain any Adware, Spyware, Malware, Viruses, Trojans or any bundle software.
