LimeWire research uncovers unwanted Spyware in P2P

From a LimeWire email: “Ben Edelman, a noted expert on Spyware, this week released a study comparing five leading file-sharing programs on Download.com: LimeWire, iMesh, Morpheus, eDonkey and Kazaa. Of the five programs, only LimeWire was found to have no bundled software: “One program in my sample is notable not for its inclusion of bundled software but for its omission of such software. Not only did LimeWire not include bundled software, but in my testing it also did not show any advertisements beyond promotions for the paid version of LimeWire.”"

“According to Lime Wire COO Greg Bildson, “Users don’t want adware or spyware sneaking in with a file-sharing program,” says Bildson. “LimeWire is pure file-sharing technology with no spyware and no adware, and we’ve seen our user base grow steadily because of it.” LimeWire is currently the second most downloaded program on Download.com, with over one million downloads last week.”
