Limewire does not have any kind of adware, spyware, badware etc. Apart from the "upgrade to Pro version" nag on startup this and Cabos are the best Java-based Gnutella clients. I like Limewire's ability to categorize searches, something Cabos lacks. On the other hand I like Cabos' ability to retain the list of incomplete/aborted downloads so you can restart them in the future. Downloads are very fast unless you're connected to a slow host. Yes, it is a resource hog as are all java-based clients but the non-java clients are unreliable or unstable (Sharezza, KCEasy, Gnutella).
My biggest gripe is with the Gnutella network itself. Why is it when I do a search I get unrelated results (FREE RINGTONEZ HERE, HOT DATE WAITING FOR YOU, etc)? These things are ALWAYS at the top of search results! Even if you type random characters in search this garbage comes up from multiple hosts! If you have a virus or malware after installing Limewire it more than likely came from something you downloaded from Gnutella, not bundled with Limewire.

Excellent P2P application. To all of you who believe it is malware ridden, I'd like you to prove it. I've never had a problem with it. Just to see what you guys were whining about, I set up 3 test virtual machines. The first thing I did in each virtual machine was install limewire and download a few songs. Next in each virtual machine I installed a different security setup. One had Avast Antivirus, Spybot S&D, Microsoft's anti-spyware product. The next machine had AVG and Webroot's spy sweeper and the last machine had Symantec's corporate antivirus and ad-aware pro.
Each machine was updated to the latest versions of all software. I scanned 3 times with each program, no malware was found.
So the question now is... why are you guys lying?
