newbie here

Thanks for your time and answer. I didn't realize I was asking anything over again, I thought perhaps you might have also had other reasons for using a newer version.
I had heard quite some time ago that LimeWire was loading something extra in with new versions, like spyware I believe... I just didn't want to get that. But of course, I will have to go read up on it.

Again, thanks.

No spyware no. However some anti-spyware utilities are not designed to cope with p2p sharing programs & think they all have spyware. If that's the case you simply put LW on the exception list.
