Ok but others have said that also and it was still there if I was you I think I would make sure.

Thanks for the warning, but I was also a little bit unsure of it being gone, until I ran a couple of virus scans, a couple of adware/spyware scans, followed the directions 4 times and couldn't find the said file (from one of my previous posts) after the first deletion of it, and 1 or 2 restarts of my computer I was pretty sure. The fact that limewire doesn't open and close on its own now is my proof enough. Thank you again for your warning, it is good to see that there is some good people out there.

Im not sure I want to do this. My dad just restored everything on my computer once again without losing it. Everytime i make a different option (on those get rid of the bug instructions) my computer has this popup saying stuff like "are you sure you want to do this? it can make your computer inopperable.": and such.. i dont wanna cause more trouble than this damn computer is already in. .. ill ask my dad to do it.. but PLEASE let me know these instructions have been confermed by the limewire... people and such.

I looked at your other post and that is the only way I have any clue of what you are talking about. You should stick to your original thread if you want help figuring things out. It can become very confusing if you don't.

You can go to Norbies World and he will help you to see if you still have the virus the link below will take you there.

Ok I had a friend telling me about this. And gave me the topic to this. He said the virus has to be activated and I havent activated it yet.

Ok first off do I need to delete it before I activate in. Second off can I delete it without activating it. Because it's not poping up. Only when I click On limewire. I don't have xp of a task manager.

How can I get rid of it if I have Windows ME.

If you are talking about a file you have downloaded but havent opend yet then yes just delete it. If you delete it without opening it you will be fine.

No I have downloaded limewire and have been download stuff like aqua teen(tv episodes) and Antiflag musc videos.

My friend told me when you download limewire it gives you a virus when you try to take out the main limewire file. He said it happend to him. He said you just got to activate it. So I went into windows and deleted the limewire file. (Deleted) Then I looked agian and it came back.

I want to take precations and find out if it is activated and remove any possible viruses I may get or may already have.

I don't see anyone giving support on how to remove the virus for WindowsME.

(Note) I have no virus scan. My mcaffe virus scan never picks anything up anyway.

You Friend is wrong LimeWire does not give you a virus. But some of the files you downloaded may have viruses in them if you downloaded any files that were 851.7kb and opened them then you have a virus. It causes LimeWire to start up by itself every time you try to turn it off it restarts itself. If you have this virus or any other you can click on the link below it will take you to Norbie's website and he will help you get rid of it.

A little piece of advice never download anything off of P2P networks without having a up to date antivirus program you are just asking for a virus if you do. The link below is a link you should read and it has links in it to good free antivirus programs and spyware programs.

Ha, but what if he is right. He said it happend to him when he was tampering with the limewire main file.

And this is the first thing he sent me to....
Why isn't there any support for Windows ME?
