Im out of the us on vacation. im in filesharingheaven!!!! No stupid lawsuits or anything. It is illegl here but nobody enforces it. well, im using limewire and everytime i search for a dvd, i keep getting porn results. Is there a way to get rid of this? (not that i dont like porn, its just that it gets in the way of my search results.)

thanks

No, you'll always get thoose result's.

I hope thats Limewire Pro as Limewire regular is bundled with malware :(

I highly reccomend you use Frostwire.

http://www.frostwire.com/

Same p2p, only cleaner and not bundled with spyware, from the same project also.

BTW, your sig is very distracting, lol.

Sorry to Hijack the thread, but it caught my eye since I'm a LimeWire basic user. I just wanna know how much risk I'm facing, malware wise not legal issues.

PS How do you like my Sig? LOL

If I always hear voices surrounding me, does it mean Im crazy or that I hear in Dolby 5.1?

I love all your sig's :p

Don't take my word for it, have a read of what Spyware Info has to say:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/p2p/

Infected

The following file-swappers are confirmed to have spyware or other unwanted parasites bundled into them:

* Audiogalaxy
* Imesh
* OneMX
* FreeWire
* Exeem
* BitTorrent Ultra
* FileCroc
* Kiwi Alpha
* RockItNet
* Warez P2P
* KaZaa (offers a paid version without spyware)

* Bearshare (offers a paid version without spyware)

* Xolox (Currently retesting)

* Morpheus (Older versions only. All third party bundles have been removed from Morpheus as of version 4.9.2. Current versions have an embedded banner ad but install no third party software)

* Grokster (offers a paid version without spyware)

* Blubster 2.x aka Piolet (Blubster 2.0 and higher and Piolet are adware and bundle other adware)

* MediaSeek (MediaSeek Lite from the same company does not bundle any spyware or adware)

* E-Donkey AKA Overnet (Versions prior to 1.2 available on June 1, '05 bundle adware. 1.2 is clean)

* Computwin AKA FileNavigator (While it doesn't bundle adware or spyware, this product is itself adware, pops up a full page ad in Internet Explorer upon loading and claims to track computer usage in its license)

* Ares (Official site offers a "Lite" version without the adware bundles)

* Various BitTorrent Clients (See warning below about open source clients)

* Limewire (The most current version of Limewire is reported to include spyware. LimeWire 4.9.28 is clean. Older and newer version may not be.)

^^^^

If you have limewire, uninstall and run a ad aware scan or with any anti malware tool thats reilable.

Use frostwire instead,

http://www.frostwire.com/

Same, but only this ones clean :)

Thanks for the list. One thing that doesn't make sense is I have Ad-Aware with latest definitions (downloaded them two days ago) and doesn't point to LimeWire as spyware. Could you explain?

If I always hear voices surrounding me, does it mean Im crazy or that I hear in Dolby 5.1?

Tell me the exact version of limewire you are running and I'll explain.

It's version 4.10.9. Although I already unistalled it, please explain.

If I always hear voices surrounding me, does it mean Im crazy or that I hear in Dolby 5.1?
