Re: limewire

If you use limewire or other P2P file sharing programs now you should be
more than unhappy. You should be terrified. I have cleaned plenty of key
loggers and password catchers from computers infected by the installation of
such programs. It isn't what comes with the download of the music - the
infections occur by simply installing the P2P software.

And many adware companies have made financial deals with companies like
Claria/Gator or have backed down from the threats of lawsuits and no longer
report those programs as spyware - including Gator's password collector.
