Default Help! i can remove limewire!

I'm one of those who downloaded some files using LW but the program turned out to be a virus. I've use the methods posted by others but the problem is, i just can't delete the LW folder after it uninstalls. it says "cannot delete limewire.exe: access is denied. make sure the disc is not full or write protected". i restarted my pc and i still can't get it outta my system. please help...

Try any or all of those programs (I reckon ALL) and see whether that helps. If not follow my last link:

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/(free)

http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG)

http://www.ewido.com(free trial which can still be used and updated after the period has ended -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you can't get rid of it go here and get some free computer help:

testy are we not. i quess you must be one of the geniuses who developed this disaster. if it is so good and alot of us have all these problems running are pcs do to the program lw pro. then it stands to show that i nor anyone else should be paying for p2p program that worked better the old way.

it seems to me that pro is a way to pay for the mistakes made in the first place. if that means relacing software engineers than so be it.

i quess i hit a nerve. good - don't promote falsely and you won't get crazy @#$#@@## like me sending all these threads out to you precious audience.

LOVE IT!!!!

WTF????? lol I'm glad I don't understand what you said, as it doesn't apply to the helpers on this forum anyway. lol

Problems are generally user based. eg: what they download or can't download. What they can't install properly due to dirty registries, or complexities with their particular system. Unreliable connection to a particular site to install online, etc. Or other problems due to their setup & devices.
