Limewire does contain spyware. In fact, it contains a few traces of it, including PRO. It contains KaZaA, Grokster, and a few others. Grokster installs: Active Delivery, CasinoOnNet, ClipGenie, CommonName, Cydoor, DelFin Media Viewer, DownloadWare, eUniverse, FavoriteMan, FlashTrack, Gator, IGetNet, IGetNet/ClearSearch, IncrediFind, IPInsight, Look2Me, Lycos.SideSearch, NetworkEssentials, NetworkEssentials/SCBar, PeopleOnPage, RVP, SAHAgent, Search-EXE, SearchEnhancement, TOPicks, VX2/e, VX2/f, and Webhancer. It also degrades your network performance vastly. You can't fully remove KazaA and Grokster unless you remove limewire and scan your computer and remove these programs. These are located in the magnet folder and the registry. |
this is nonsense...did you download LW from a bogus site?..if you did that would explain all the crap it dumped on your computer...I use the top spyware scanners (ADAWARE,SPYBOT,SPYSWEEPER) and have NEVER ONCE found anything negative related to LW.....also....it could also be that the spyware you found was not part of LW but came from something you DOWNLOADED using LW...LW itself is clean. period.
thank you and have a nice day |
