I just figured out how to do this. I just found out that the new basic version of Limewire uses direct internet links to download the ads so killing the ads is even easier. To remove the ads go to C:\Program Files\LimeWire\2.0.2\lib\ads
First Close Limewire (exit completely!)
Then delete all the ad picture files.
OK, after that open up ads.props file with Notepad and out what I put here:

#
#Wed Dec 12 18:15:52 EST 2001
AD_ID=0
AD_COUNT=0

Just change
AD_ID=0
AD_COUNT=0
to zero and delete everything after that!

So finally it the ads.props file should look like this:
#
#Wed Dec 12 18:15:52 EST 2001
AD_ID=0
AD_COUNT=0

And with nothing under that! Then just save the file and close Notepad!
Then run Lavasofts AdAware (software spyware remover!) and scan your whole system and delete all the spywares!!!
Thats It! Now you have Limewire Basic with out any spyware or ads!
