Hi DB1,

That link is to the official site (we usually query the download site just because there are so many LW scams). I've just been to the site thru your link, downloaded the latest basic installer, scanned it with AVG Antispyware & Avira Antivir (came up clean on both), installed it & no popups. I've run Spybot & nothing was found.

Were you linked to that site for download, from another site?? Uninstall the LW that you have (start > all programs > Limewire > use the uninstall option). Scan your computer with Spybot & Ad-Aware. Then use my link to download LW & use the offline installer. When you've clicked to download & the box pops up, cancel it...now you'll see the option to use the offline installer.

Install LW & see what happens. I've been using LW for years & never had any malware associated with the installer. Not being a smartass, but are you sure that the popups started as soon as you installed LW? You didn't download any files before you noticed the popups? There are that many infected files on the network, maybe you downloaded a dirty file straight after installation??
