I am an average user and I have purchased Limewire. I am very unhappy to find TopMoxie and other spyware on my system because I've downloaded P2P software.

Fine. I can deal with the advertisements. I also understand that I agreed to the license agreement and TopMoxie info was probably in there somewhere, however, things like this need to be very, very clear to the user.

Most users understand that they will see advertising or have cookies on their system. But running these applications in the background without notifying the user in clearer terms is simply unacceptable.
