The 2 programs do not contain spyware themselves, but the files you download using those programs (or any other P2P programs) puts you in risk of spywares, viruses and trojans.\n\nAmong the 2, Limewire is definitely the better one, but Limewire Pro is far better than Limewire...

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\nTry this scan, its free, it removes\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

I would advise only using adware/spyware removers from credible companies and organizations.  Always do a search before installing something onto your computer if you have not heard of it before.\n\nFor spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider MS Defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nDon't forget to always update the spyware definitions before scanning.\n\nThe best way to prevent spyware is to not go to suspicious websites, open unknown attachments, click on links from spam, etc.  Also, clear your cookies and run your anti-spyware program from time to time.

You really need 3 things, Firewall, Anti spy ware, and antiVirus... AVG anti virus will not slow down your computer. Also Spy Bot search & destroy will keep spy ware at bay! both are Free!

It's always safe to turn your laptop off. But you should install anti-spyware as soon as possible.\n\nHere are 2 good programs, all free:\n\nAdaware: get this at www.lavasoft.com. You can use it to scan your laptop whenever you suspect you have spyware on it, and it will eliminate alot of pests.\n\nSpyware Blaster: get it at www.javacoolsoftware.com.  It protects your PC from getting alot of spyware loaded onto it. \n\nIt's also good to have a strong antivirus program on your PC. If you don't have one already and want a free one, get AVG from www.grisoft.com.

Its pretty safe, at least its the safer i've tryed, there's no much trouble when you download music or videos but watch out whe downloading executables or programs, its easy to use and you can find tons of files, just keep you anti-virus updated and your firewall up and youll have no problem

well, it can be anything like spyware, adware, bugs, virus, your hard disk over loaded, cookies....it may slow down your systems.

No, I recommend Symantec Firewall/Anti-Virus, Ad Aware SE, System Mechanic and maybe Spy Doctor.  Some catch most, but all it takes is one bad virus or malware etc....

I have used them all over time, but for some reason I prefer Avast, there is a free version and one you pay for the one you pay for you get free for 60 days to try it out than switch to the free one if you cannot afford the pay one.remember no matter what you choose keep it updated, for spyware I use spybot its free and adaware its free, another good program thats free is ccleaner, makes your computer run like new again.

you seem to have an adware problem, adware can get around even the best pop-up killers, plus a personal firewall will slow that crap down...I don't have that problem on my machine. Get Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper and Spybot on your machine, and run them until nothing comes up on the scans, Windows Defender is an up-and-coming tool that you can download free...Ad Aware and Spybot are also free. Get 'em, run 'em...and clean that puter out.

iTunes is very reputable.  No site is 100% secure, but I haven't heard of any problems related to that one.  Are you running an anti-virus program?  Do you run regular scans (and/or realtime scans) with it?  Do you run anti-spyware programs on a regular basis?  (Pick at least 2... AdAware, SpyBot, etc, both are free).
