It also depends on the type of file you download from each of these p2p programs. For example if the folder is smaller than a megabyte and your downloading a song, there is potential risk in downloading it. There was a post on a Morpheus board that had a list of suspicious files to look out for. I know that when I had Limewire it did filter out some of these suspicious files, but downloading with caution always works.

They say spyware free because they are claiming that the program itself is spyware free. It is however possible that the files you are downloading are malware or infected with a virus.

And the reason they classify limewire as asware there is because limewire's free version displays ads in the interface.

FFS,
Limewire is not adware, spyware or a virus.
The reason people call it adware, spyware & viruses is because sometimes when you search for things it willproduce adware etc..
This is not limewire and limewire cannot stop this. It is a Peer 2 Peer software (P2P) and therefore it cannot not show stuff that people want to share.
So limewire is fine - to a certain to extent e.g memory whore etc...

like everything you get with kazaa. so be careful. but i dont think that anybody uses it anyways. it was good but nowadays there are much better p2p clients out.

yea thats the cause i hate it. when you have a computer like me (320mb SDram), limewire fucks it up until you start it :S but its good, when you dont use the free version. ads and crap. but there are ways to get the pro version.

but like with almost everything; it depends on the users opinion which client he uses :)

edit: omfg @ my post :o i hope anyone gets what i mentioned to say :S
