bpmax - No, not "going for an enrollment drive there". I see no forums here involved with helping people clean up their computers, so I pointed him towards the best one I knew of (it's called attempting to help someone, in case you're confused).

And, yes, I'm well-aware of the fact that - if "TheTakeover" obtained his copy of LW from a legitimate source (IOW, if he didn't get a cracked/hacked copy of the program from some flaky site or a non-official version off a P2P source somewhere) - LimeWire doesn't install spyware.

Due to the fact that the guy doesn't seem to be able spell or punctuate correctly (and has an unfortunate penchant to revert to all caps), I wasn't going to take the time to explain all that - because I believe that - until and unless he ever gets a clue as to how to secure his computer - he will have spyware/adware/trojan and virus problems for all eternity regardless of what programs he chooses to run.

Hope that clarifies things for you. Pete
