Hi cerafil. After finding so many bogus files, its my recomendation that you Defragment your computer, that will help speed things up for you. also stay away from .exe,.rar,.zip files, they are 99.9% viruses. Here's another exelent Free program that is used by the experts. When using P2P, I sujest you run a scan befor turning off your computer, Some nasties, become active once you reboot, so a scan with SpyBot, may clear these before they become a problem. Oh! dont use the advanced options,Before reading all the facts, you could damage your computer. Use this link to get SpyBot search n destroy. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html Peace.

Thank you MICK I forgot, very good of you to remember me. I run one every month, but the latest was very recent. I might just be oblivious to the good things it can do, but Spybot S&D has never brought Me anything but trouble. Anywayz I will defrag.. When I tried reinstalling limewire..... I never got any further. I had to manually delete all the ocrrupted files that came in. 100's of them |

These 100's of small files are downloaded by the worm itself and can be a pain From what you are saying, I would have a good clear out. Here is a method used to start from the begining. Follow thease instructions exactly. So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions. Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/ & make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked) Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search. Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything) Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Use this Link to get JRE 6, Use the off line installer, NOT the (recormended) one, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp When Download is completed. Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java. Now!! Use this link to download latest L/W version using the off line installer http://www.limewire.com/ If you need help, Shout, If it fixed your problem or not, Feedback helps others. Peace

When I read you help I find out I will run into 2 problems I cannot solve yett. 1. There are 5 boxes to click. Which from above is it? 1st, 2nd... ect. My windows is in dutch and I have not found out the translation they used for Case sensitivity (Bestands gevoeligheid)(freetranslated) 2. I never disable my internet, I frankly do not know another way to disconnect then pull out the network cable. I figured I could better ask this first instead of starting like a mad man and **** up Cheers |
