LimeWire Turbo 5.2
 
Is anyone here familiar with this? I did a quick search and didn't find mention of it in the forums.

Well, it bears the name "LimeWire" but it definitely has nothing to do with http://www.limewire.com/.
But I'm downloading it at the moment, so I'll let you know later what I think of it.......;)

Here we go, it comes with ad-ware :

"
Here’s the deal: LimeWire Turbo is supported by Save with
TrueRelevanceTM. To support LimeWire Turbo’s further develop-
ment, Save shows you comparison ads and special offers based
on the Web content you view. Save windows slide or pop up
in front of or behind your browser, are always branded Save and
tell you they are coming from software - not Websites.

Save strictly protects your privacy. Find out how.

If you install Save and decide later you don’t want it, you can remove it from
your computer at any time in the “Add or Remove Programs” section of the
Control Panel. To uninstall Save, you must also uninstall LimeWire Turbo.

Guess, that makes it clear,....doesn't it......the real deal from the real Limewire comes without ad-ons......;)

By the way, the other programs of them (Pro-Sharing) come also with ad-ons

As you can see from the screenshots, it's a total rip-off of LW. :rolleyes: I'm not sure about the legality of their use of the name Limewire however. I guess that's best left up to the copyright lawyers. lol :D
