Re: So what's the answer?
like wire puts a spyware bot on the computer. I scanned my computer with Yahoo Anti Spy and it detected the Limewire but nothing else would...i removed it then Limewire stopped working...
ill take a screen shot and load it up on here. |

Encino, CA | The newest versions of LimeWire? Wierd...I think I would've heard more static on that software if it was still in the spyware market.
Please do put up that SS, I'd like to see.  |

Encino, CA | Okay, well...it's listed under Adware, but do they have an explanation as to the reason why it's "spyware"?
I haven't heard of any phone-home activities, aside from the file sharing that normally happens on it. |

Encino, CA | Now that is bunk...I haven't recieved one pop-anything ad on my Limewire machine at all. Could this just be Yahoo using old definitions back in the days of Limewire's adware phase? |
