Sorry for time delay friend im a little bussy.
I have XP home SP2
When I click on Start/search, then Click on, "all files and folders" then at botom, "more advanced options" ON mine its the 4th box down. This one
you must untick, the others should have a tick in boxes.

Its ok to pull net conection But if you go to Network connections, Right click on your connection, then choose "create shortcut" you can put a link on your desktop for easy use.
You say!!
":O And I did Uninstall limewire already, so it will not appear in start/programs...Does this mean I must reinstall it?
No It should be OK. Just folow rest of info that will clear things.
Just shout if you get stuck.

OK this is going to be hard but i will try.
I come across an error while trying to delete the new found files.

In dutch it is;

Fout bij het verwijderen van bestand of map

Kan bestand niet verwijderen. Kan geen gegeven van het bronbestand of op de bronschijf lezen.

Freely Translated it will be;
Mistake while trying to delete file or map
Cannot delete the file. Cannot read files from the source or sources drive.

cheers,


**I always thought this was some kind of standard error when you try to delete something you already deleted in Configuration/software.

Ok
If you go to Start/My computer, at top of page, Tools/Folder Options/View
now enable show hidden files & folders, close that, and reboot your computer
in safe mode.
To boot in safe mode.
Hold down Key F8 at boot untill black screen with white writing comes up
then use UP button to highlight SAFE MODE, Press enter/enter a warning will come up then click ok.
Let it set up, Then go back to search, You should now be able to delete the
files. If not right click on file, Choose Open containing folder, try to delete from there. Just shout if you get stuck.

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.
*****YEAH

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.
*****DONE

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.
*****DONE Search has resulted nothing (w00t)

Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.
*****AM working on it

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

Everything is done for and the pop up has gone away.

The only problems I got left are:

1. My pc has never regained his old Speed.
2. I probs will never be able to download any p2p without fearing the worst.
3. Kinda off direction, but does anybody knows a remedy against "You seem to be the victim of illegal windows" Error Messages?

Thanks yah all.
Cheers,
