To the best of my knowledge Limewire does not contain any adware or spyware. Download Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft Ad-aware. Run a full scan with both and see if they detect anything. If they do uninstall the version of Limewire that you have and install the latest version. Many P2P program do contain adware and effectively open a connection to your PC. \nAs most anti-spyware programs work from a database of known threats, yahoo anti-spy should be using known information, although all these types of programs can make mistakes.\nMaybe the version of Limewire that you have has some security issues. Use the information as a possible threat and carry out more tests before removing Limewire.

I use "Ad-Avare SE" and "Advanced Spyware Remover".  They are both free and seem to work well.

I don't know from experience so don't quote me but...Limewire is supposed to be very good but when ppl download it there is an option not to download spyware with it & most ppl don't notice, maybe this is what you have done, try uninstalling it, restore your pc to a date before you downloaded limewire if you can remember when that was, then re install it without the spyware. If that doesn't work you can always reverse the restore operation & your pc will be the same as before.You have nothing to lose.

I suggest you just get Ad-Aware and Spybot.  They clear everything and XoftSpy is also recognized as spyware.

If you have a good virus protection software like nortons antivirus then you dont have to worry. Nortons will warn you if you are downloading a virus from lime wire then you can just stop the process. If you want more music selections with less hassle try Bittorent. Web sites like torrentspy can get you good music with less hassle. A good bittorent client is Azereus also get Peer guardian for extra security both are free.

try ad-aware and/or spybot s&d. if that doesn't work, get hijackthis. also, make sure your windows patches are up to date as well as your virus protection.

Limewire opens up your computer to viruses and spyware. I know a lot of friends that have made their computers crash beyond repair. its very harmful to your computer and i suggest that you dont use it.

not from my experience. but Kazaa & bearshare are heavily infected with spyware/adware programs. avoid those.

What I would recommend would be to uninstall Limewire (Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs), and not install it again. As far as Java goes, you can simply reinstall it from the Java website (http://java.sun.com/).\n\nLimewire can be a very bad program, I know numerous people who have had big problems with their computers because of it. I even know one person whose computer became entirelly unusable due to a virus which he received through a seemingly harmless download on Limewire. I even tried Limewire once for about three days (before I knew of the dangers of it), and I was amazed at how much it slowed down my computer. I really have nothing against Limewire itself, it's just all of the malicious people who use it for their own malicious purposes.
