Congratulations on such a great program

With Limewire in number 5, I am sure demand will stay high.

AVG cheats. They send users to CNET to update their product (I think), while we handle the update process automatically and from our own servers.

I don't think so, when updating it shows it goes through there /guru/ folder. Not sure if this can somehow link into CNET, and anyways, I don't think they would allow that.

They do?

I used to use the free version, but now I have fully paid version. Hmm. Now that you mention it, I am not sure if it says where the update is coming from. I'll have to pay more attention next time :D

Oh, no.... this is very bad. Limewire is not worthy to take third place.

With Avast in 4th place and Limewire 3rd, you're going to have a very hard time trying to get over them...

No surprises with the Limewire increase in downloads...it is the school holdidays and this would be an expected increase in use of it and other like softwares.

One thing is sure tho...the more kiddies using limewire = more P2P infections for MBAM to potentially be called apon to remove so maybe not a bad thing :)

Supply and demand :)
