removing limewire
 

i have recently deleted limewire and think that i only deleted and did not uninstall. this is wreaking havoc on my computer and would like to know how to correct the problem.

What problem?

You should also note that some of the spyware installed during the Limewire installation does NOT get uninstalled during the Limewire uninstallation process.

That's what Ad-Aware is for. http://www.lsfileserv.com/

How do i uninstall limewire because it is not what i expected it to be and it is very slow and takes about an hour to download 1 song

Re: Uninstalling adware
 

BS!!! Installed programs should not leave behind a bunch of hidden crap when you uninstall them! Limewire needs to fix their uninstall program so it removes all the spyware as well. You shouldn't need some third-party software to clean your system afterwards! Maybe one of those 6 full-time developers could find time to devote a half-hour to fixing this???

Give 'em a dollar, they want the world
 

All you guys who are dissatisfied with a FREE Limewire program, pony up the #*@! money and buy it, I did. The world isn't free, boys, it costs $$$ to develop a program like this. Personally, I like it. Not as good as Napster, but what is?

Did ad-aware find topMoxie? AFAIK not...

AFAIK, it doesn't find TopMoxie. I use Ad-Aware myself and seem to remember having to delete TopMoxie manually.

Try the "LimeShop" uninstaller in the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. That should take out the LimeWire trash, but other prog's crap will still be there, which can wreak havoc as well.

In you have Win98/ME/XP, try going Start->Run and entering "msconfig" (without quotes). You may want to pay close attention to the startup tab. Many problems can be solved here.

And an hour to dl a song?!? :eek: Was probly a slow******* source, but whose to say for sure?
