Thank You Ultracross for the GNU and I have tried to build limewire myself but every time I always get a problem with Ant. I've tried everything but it just doesn't work.

All of those extras...are things that Grokster installs. Mainly you'll find KaZaA and Grokster. Microsofts Beta does not find them. cheak your registry if you don't believe me.

Some antispyware proggies "suck" and do not find the real spywares. As soon as an app includes magnet link support, they find the "Grokster spyware" lol. Problem is that majora is using one of this POS apps. Get adaware, spybot or MS antispyware, they all really work. Hell some POS apps anti spywares even install their own spywares...

Ho and majora, search the forum, this has been discussed to death: conclusion is that your app lies or is defective.

I do have spybot, ad-Aware, and MS Antispyware Beta, and I know that some antispyware progs instal their own spyware but I have Looked in the REGISTRY and found that grokster and KaZaA is in there. Plus I have ran tons of tests expecially with disk space and internet activity a found grokster is on my comp.

Could you say where in your registry you found all those adware and spyware you have listed, a screen print of the registry area would be better.

Humm listen to me please. If you installed Kazaa or groskter before it is normal that you find those in the registry. HOWEVER if it is your spyware app that identifies Grokster software in registry after installing LW, it is because that spyware app is broken.

Thing you should learn here, as I said before: broken spyware apps identify magnet link support (when you click on magnet link it will open the default Gnutella client) as a Grokster install which is absolutly bullshit. Please understand that and search the forum, it has been discussed many times.

Ciao

Yes please do as ukbobboy01 says I searched my registry an could find nothing. I scanned my system with all the spyware detectors you talked about, what a Paine in the *** that was. And nothing so please tell me where to look as ukbobboy01 says a snapshot would be better.

I have checked my registry and I cannot find any of the stuff you say is there, especially since I have been using LW Pro since version 4.0.5 (May last year).

I think you have gone wrong somewhere with your perception of events, i.e. between picking up these malware and loading LW.

However, you've got rid of them and that's all that really matters.
