Default Limewire 4.8 - security issue

Anyone got ideas about the message when LW starts up "upgrade to limewire 4.8, this is a security upgrade" or something like that..what's the security issue then?

Or is this manipulation by fear? - christ..I'm starting to sound like David Icke LOL!

More information about the issue will be available on Monday. We do recommend you upgrade.

no security issue, just a way to bump up downloads from download.com, they want to pass Ad-aware in weekly downloads, and they want to pass Morpheus' 131 Million downloads and Kazaa' 375 Million downloads is all hahaha

they didn't tell the security issue now, because they had to take time to think of something to call a security issue, they prob made a security issue up! hahaha

You keep that in mind when Monday roles around.

In the meantime, I'd highly recommend that all users upgrade to a version of 4.8 or 4.0.10 for Mac Classic users. We are not messing around here folks.

Thanks
