kissesnlipgloss · #1 (**permalink**) November 13th, 2006

I d/l limewire and tried d/l a gif maker program and now I tried uninstalling the program (limewire) and it will not remove. I keep getting this error pop up box, that I have seen several times in here, ran a virus and trojan scanner and went to run the program (complete) and there were over 3000 programs in there exe files that something in limewire installed on my computer on its own!!!!
How do I get rid of this?
