First is what can I download as far as spyware/adware programs that can scan P2P files off Limewire as they are being downloaded.  If not that if I were to download Limewire can it be cleaned/immunized by what I already have?  

1.  Spyware doctor
2.  Ad Aware SE personal
3.  SpyBot Search and Destroy.

What is a good free blocker?  I had Spyware Blaster.
Should I run scans immediately after download or is their some free software that can scan it while downloading?



Is Limewire Pro worth the extra $20?

any antivirus that runs continously should work
I don't think any of the spyware cleaners have that ability

Limewire Pro is awesome, but as for spyware that auto detects, you'd probably have to pay for a good software that runs in the background constantly monitoring. Ad-aware is a great free one that works when you push the scan button, but no monitoring.

Go with a new Apple! I use one, no spyware, no security probs, no viruses! And pretty much all the same software, MS Office '04, Limewire Pro, etc etc etc

the newest version of spybot is 1.4 is that what you are using??   I have been having problems lately with spybot not being able to download updates.  I use adaware se personal more than i do spybot though.

Yup 1.4 after I run Spyware Doctor and Ad Aware it finds nothing.  I just thought it best to have a redundant backup.  So its useless?
