Default Re: activity tracking, basic vs. pro

If the Basic software does it, does the Pro NOT do it? I see clearly that the Pro version does not include the bundled spyware, but does Limewire still track and report user activity?
Thats a rumor, nonesense, those so-called spyware can actually
only see things like that (I coded something similiar to put on webpages to track users.):
- System Platform
- System Language
- Time Of Visit
- Screen Resolution & Colors
If you are afraid of banners, thats the thing they can do.

The client itself is not doing things like this,
plus: If you are really afraid you can use Clean Limewire or
Aqualime, these are versions which dont have advertising.

You can find them on www.unitethecows.com
