Problems with uninstall My dad told me to uninstall Limewire, because there is a chance of getting a virus and if the computer gets a virus, he could lose his job because 90% of it requires our computer. I tried to uninstall it, but I kept getting this error: Quote:

The way to uninstall LW is Start > All Progs > LW, click & take the uninstall option. You could try to install a new version (this will automatically uninstall the old one) & then uninstall that one the right way. When you had LW installed before, did you have a problem with it popping up all the time & not staying closed?? Try doing as I suggested, if it doesn't work then try using the computer's search & deleting all LW files. After this, if the message still pops up then it sounds like you have a virus. But don't panic, you can go to Norbiesworld, register & follow the directions for free computer help. It's really important to scan every file that you download with your AV program before opening! |
YES limewire got virus into my computer and it took me a LOT of effort to fix it at last :) so I strongly disencourage the use of limewire ;) I didn't have problem uninstalling limewire..so perhaps you could try deleting any file with associations to limewire. Deleting it's files will prevent it from loading. There may be times when the files can't be deleted, so what you could do is restart your computer in safe mode and delete them :D I don't know if it'll work but after I uninstalled limewire my computer is working beautifully - except for a few hangs / freezes at times :p |

But one last advice (not asking you to quit using LimeWire), if you guys ever have any problems, sign up in http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk. he's good. So, I decide to do a good deed to Gnutella forums. I may come back, or I may not. It was a pleasure meeting you all. Good luck. |
