Rob W 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) its some sort of P2P stuff http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml its also malware "On August 5, 2006, the BBC reported that "Limewire" and "Lime wire" were the fifth and seventh most likely search term to return links to malware respectively.[6] Prior to April 2004, the free version of LimeWire was distributed with a bundled program called LimeShop (a variant of TopMoxie), which was considered by computer security experts to be spyware. Among other things, LimeShop monitored online purchases in order to redirect sales commissions to Lime Wire LLC. Uninstallation of LimeWire would not remove LimeShop. With the removal of all bundled software in LimeWire 3.9.4 (released on April 20, 2004),[2] these objections were addressed."

Tooj 17 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I could probably find you a free version of Limewire Pro Mr. Hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I could probably find you a free version of Limewire Pro Mr. Hips. 172957[/snapback] I'm not sure he even wants the free one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I could probably find you a free version of Limewire Pro Mr. Hips. 172957[/snapback] Thanks for the offer, but I am still a little in the dark as to whether I want it or not! When I interrogated hips junior (complete with bright lamp in the face) all I got was a stupid grin when I asked if it (limewire) was for his music stuff!! I'll ask him the next time I see him about it, but as he's at the pub quiz right now that could be some time tomorrow afternoon. Cheers anyway.
