I'm ditching LimeWire now.... I can't put up with all the new junk they (LW or advertising partners) are sneaking into the software.

I have written the people from Limewire several times about spyware they have embedded in the software. They use Gator for one, but the latest is this clicktiluwin crap which happened on or about 12/27. They know full well what's going on. Their attitude is that they need to sell advertising to keep the whole thing going. My attitude is, I'd rather pay than put up with this crap. They have more up their sleves I promise you.

Who would be up for supporting a clean version of LW?
Contact me if you would like to be part of a project whose goal would be to produce an ad-free, spyware-free LimeWire.

Greetings,

Norton found the trojan on my system and I downloaded v.2 directly from this site. I uninstalled it about 30 minutes later when I realized what a piece of crap it was but uninstalling Limewire didn't get rid of the trojan. BTW Ad-aware does not find this and Norton only found it during a full system scan not during the install.

Here is the link to SARC's page on this issue.

Note to Limewire developers, pull your heads out of your collective asses and get this crap out of your software. Nobody wants it and it only fosters acrimony toward your products.

WHY WHY WHY
You had a good product, now it's a pile of S##t.
REAL SMART
Good luck in the unemployment line.

Anyone ready for an alternative?

Here's a beta site:


This link will be removed shortly, so download it while you can.

Also

We have to fight back against this crap,
they don't care if 20 % of people are
annoyed about this trojan, as long as
the majority 80 % aren't aware of it.
Forget about talking to Limewire,
get the message out to the people
who use it - that's the only way to
stop them.

Another thing, what they're doing is
probably illegal and if somebody sues
them that person could probably make
a lot of money...

The laws in each state are different, follow this link to see if they have violated any laws in your aera.



you normaly can sue only for the dammages you incured, but if there are enough people with the same case it might put an end to the spy and adware crap.

This is a repackaged version of 2.0.3. It will install and function alongside 1.9b just fine. It should act just like the real installation of LimeWire, except that there are no spywares or ads installed. There are also NO registry entries, so bye-bye clicktilluwin. LimeWire functions just fine without spyware. It just took a little configuring.
