I installed LimeWire and checked it out; it looked really cool. Until, I ran Ad-Aware after the install (I always do this after installs). There were several instances of spyware on my machine that were directly related to the LimeWire install. I deleted all of them and LimeWire then refused to load (I tried several times). LimeWire looks like a great program, but the cost of permitting spyware on my comp is too high for me (paranoid? Maybe, maybe not). LimeWire had to go. Judge for yourself . . .
