Why Limewire is shown as adware?

Because it has adware in it. I stopped using it once it started getting adware. I use soulseek. It's a experiment program that some company is using as a ginny pig (sp?) to see what work with file transfers and all that stuff. It's a little harder to get downloads, but personally I don't mind waiting a couple hours for a song.

Download lavasoft's Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy. Scan your computer with these programs to remove all the spyware programs you loaded including limewire itself.

The program is legal However file sharing is not. So if you get limewire turn the file sharing off in the tools section.

Dont download! There are very few downloads that arent infected with at least spyware. New adware and spyware is being created on a daily basis. No one could possibly provide software that could sense this!

ok. First Limewire is untrusted. Norton will do the job only if u open the file by the way when it is open the virus had might effected ur pc. SO don't use Limewire or any P2P u don't know what u are getting.

Limewire is a good software, but it has somethings in it which registers itself in the spyware, virus and firewalled site, so you need to remove limewire from all these in order for it to connect to the network, that is all, its that simple.\nCHEERS!!!

Make sure its the download link for a Mac http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download/version.php\nAnd NO, the Limewire Program is not filled with spyware and Viruses...It's some of the files You download that will have them...so Always, always, always scan evertything you download...I've been using Limewire for over a Year with no viruses, trojans, etc...but my virus scans after downloading some files have caught them before they were installed on my computer...just make sure your security's in place before using it...common sense...

If you dont know what you're doing I would leave limewire alone.  Twice I have got bad viruses on my PC from limewire files - the last one was so bad I had to throw the computer away and buy a new one.  Also it is illegal - not that people care.  I would never use it again xx

Limewire is bad news..full stop...as pc technicians we remove it daily from folks pc's...spyware infections from this program almost always means your windows will become so corrupted that a format of the HDD is the only resort. Stay away from all shareware programs,crack websites etc to avoid spyware

most games or other programs you download from limewire are unreliable, and contain viruses and spyware\n\nhave the file scanned by an antivirus and an antispyware software before installing; even then it may not be the real game\n\nto install, you have to find the file you downloaded in your download folder, and run the executable setup (.exe)

try downloading adaware- that usually will find that as a potentially harmful program. also you can use search under the start menu and type in limewire and anything that is found delete.
