I had recently updated my Limewire (which I loved). During the install procedure I noticed the "by the way we need to pay our 6 new programmer's salaries so...blah blah...advertisement" message. WHAT??? I was not amused. Oh well...
I was even less amused when the install procedure proceeded to reboot (damn!) and I ended up with the NT blue screen of death (yikes!!!). "Last known configuration" failed, my ERD failed, I was getting nervous by now. VGA boot passed and I was able to weed out most of the malignant spies from my registries (at least 4) and windows (dlls) using Lavasft Ad-Aware. I then found and ran aureateremove.exe. I am still unable to reboot and service packs didn't help either. It's format c:\ and re-install everything. Nice. Really nice.
Spies are one thing, blowing up my workstation is another.
Can anyone out here recommend a basic stable spy-free gnutella client for me ol' NT?
Many thanks,
Scalded.
