From the topmoxie website (http://topmoxie.com/faqs.htm):

"8.* How do I uninstall TopMoxie?
You can uninstall the TopMoxie by following the following steps in order:

1. Close all your browsers.
2. Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove the TopMoxie partner module (such as Schoolcash or Technology4Kids) followed by the TopMoxie entry. Please note you must first remove the partner’s module before TopMoxie or the uninstall will leave an entry in you Add/Remove Programs.
3. Delete the file folder c:/program files/topmoxie.
4. Empty your recycle bin.

Like most software programs, TopMoxie does add some entries to your registry but they do not change the behavior of your PC once the application has been uninstalled. These entries should not be removed unless done by an experienced computer user."

I DON"T GET THE LAST SENTENCE

Top Moxie and the partner modules are not in my ADD/REMOVE program....


Whats up woth that?

Any help?

i think you ahve to remove the "partner module" first. Or can't you find LW either?

Maybe the guy before me will know what to do.

I can find LW but Top moxie and the other partner modules aren't in Add/Remove... I used AD-Aware and got rid off All of the other crap... BUt top Moxie and JAVARUN>EXE still haunt me... IS it bad if JAVARUN.exe whats to be a server? Shoule i have ZOME alarm say NO???

I said that we should not have fully trusted Cydoor to set up bundling deals for us. Again, ALMOST EVERY OTHER MAJOR FILE SHARING APPLICATION DID THE SAME DAMN THING!!

We do spend the vast majority of our time focusing on improving the LimeWire software. You can use whatever file sharing program you want -- feel free (since you are). If you find one that doesn't rely on some form of advertising or bundling revenue that will last longer than a year, let me know.

Just a minor point -- Gnutella is not open source. Gnutella is an open protocol, like HTTP, SOAP, Jabber, etc. LimeWire the program is open source.

I am an end user but I always paid respect to developers, in fact, generally more than they deserve.

When I first saw Limewire, said "thats it!" and whole the unix developer scene was talking about it too...

Modifying end users current URLs? Oh, not just that, because of you and your CRAP business tactics, I had to block java from accessing the internet first time in my life.

IMHO, before all, SUN must take you to court. You fscked Javas prestige.

Oh by the way, I use Opera 6.01 and Netscape 6.2.1 , come and change my URL.

I would suggest http://www.we-sold-our-souls.com to you.

I hope you won't lose all the money you STOLE that way when Amazon sues you.

This is getting big, believe me

easy. If you ever see java(add something).exe trying to access to Internet while you don't run Limewire (happened to me at startup), DENY ACCESS and REMEMBER THAT RULE.

Uninstall Limewire, run Ad-aware, get gnucleus (open source, REAL opensource including the PHILOSOPHY OF OPENSOURCE) http://www.gnucleus.com

BTW, developer guys... End users aren't such stupid you may think of. What a lame tactic that running it via java virtual machine (oh, congrats on first Java spyware btw, thats the Java concept we dreamed of) and knowing end user has ALREADY given access to Java to run Limewire, another Java program which he/she really wanted to do.

Shame on you...

I rest my case. Be happy with limewire, I am just sad and gone.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

We're currently working on the problem with the LimeShop installer being flagged by Norton, and we should have this fixed shortly. It's an installer problem, and it is not an issue in terms of any actual malicious scripts being run.

As far as these other issues, LimeWire very much supports and adheres to the open source philosophy and movement. "Free as in free speech, not as in free beer," remember?? Open source creates an open standard that allows code to get better -- it allows code to become a part of the public commons for the betterment of all. That's what we're about -- creating a network that works well for everyone.

At the same time, we need to make money. LimeShop is a way to make money that we feel is much less intrusive than the excessive amounts of spyware bundled with other applications. It does not affect the user adversely in our view.

As far as giving Java a bad name, I honestly find that laughable. LimeWire is the most widely used desktop Java application ever created. Sun meets with us regularly to discuss the future of Java and the direction they should go. Our distribution numbers for JREs rival Sun's own. Believe me that suing us is the last thing on Sun's mind.

Finally, for any Unix developers out there, why not just use LimeWire on Unix, where none of this is an issue?

Thanks.
