    Interesting limewire exploit.. I was in limewire, and clicked to download an mp3 file, and IE opened up with a website selling adult personals. I would like to know how they did that; I then opened frostwire, and searched for the same term, but the file did not show in the results. Anyone able to do this? I got some ideas on some marketing using that method.

    Thanks, RonMo

    That's so annoying, don't add to all the corrupt file shit that's already on LimeWire

    You're a little late. Porn sites have been using that advertising method for years. It started when they realized just showing their URL in the video wasn't enough.

    I just want to know how to do it. This is a webmaster's forum, there is no spam involved when someone is trying to steal someone else's work.

    They must be using the 'onclick' property on the link. then using the javascript to open a new window with those ads.
