By the way I do not use it for illegal sharing that infringes copyright. I only use it to get legal files! But I don't want spyware like regular LimeWire.

Ben, LimeWire doesn't need people like you. Please keep your answers professional.
Just as a note using an Anti-Spyware program means that they often detect LimeWire as a problem but removing the problem often stops the program from working as well.

For the love of god would nobody use limewire have have had to reformat 7 computers of my friends now because of viruses it is a rubbish program that is open to every virus, spyware etc. there is no point building up a collection with limewire will will just lose it to a virus, if you must download either do it legally from www.itune.com google video www.tv.com etc. or if you must go illegally download use bit torrent and tusted sites like mininova.org. these are managed and is there is a problem with a file it is removed striaght away. this is illegal and i in no way condon this action but please don't use limewire it is really bad exspecially if you don't know what you are doing. you have been warned and i am sure you will ignore me but trust me it is more hassle than it is worth do you really want to reformate your computer and loss all your work

if you have a spyware problem, then you definetely need some professional help, fortunately companies like microsoft and symantec are aiding for free all computer users, since this spyware problem is actually doing so much harm to their business that most large companies like ibm and microsoft are teaming up to try to eradicate this problem.
I suggest you find a complete resource against spyware with free distributable programs, one such resource could be found here:

Limewire doesn't contain spyware. Kazaa and bearshare do.
You can try shareaza. It downloads from both gnutella and edonkey networks. It doesn't contain spyware.

Here you can find a good place where to download Limewire: http://bitly.com/VMexRt
I love Limewire and I'm an avid user. If I want to download a music file I use Limewire always. you should get limewire too. It's a good peer to peer software if you have to download mp3, movies, videos or file.
Limewire is a safe and reliable program but like all peer to peer program you have to be careful of what you are donwloading from it. You always have to be cautious about what you download.
Don't use torrents/downloads from other sites, they might be backdoored.
Cheers ;)
