Question What About this Spyware

Well I probably should have Done more research and read more about this product before installing it, but since I didn't, I have a question concerning the spyware that was bundled with the free Mac version.

Soon after installing & in the middle of a download I checked the monitor feature to find a connection labled incoming. while this connection was active, my Hard drive was chattering away. Now, none of my audio downloads show a "Connection Incoming" while I'm receiving them which would seem to me to be a logical assumtion that it would since the download is certainly an incoming connection, but they don't. This incoming connection seems to be totally unrelated to whatever I'm doing with the software & this activity on my HD has me worried.

Information from Limewire about this Spyware is vague & un-informative.
I would like any & all information concerning this so called spyware budle & what it can or can't do with my computer. I am phrasing this as a demand for LimeWire techs who may or may not monitor this forum, and as a poilite request for information for knowledgable users of LimeWire posting in this forum.

Without some detailed & verified information concerning this stuff, I will probably reformat my drive & trash all this stuff never to install it again.

Any Help please?

C.
