Default Topmoxie spyware?

From adaware forums:

Hello,
I installed LimeWire 2.1.3 & used the instructions at the link patrick posted & noticed that it only removed javarun's registry entry calling it to run every time windows is started. The complete directory tree/files remain on the HD. The LimeShop uninstall apparently uses the following registry key to determine where topMoxie is located:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LimeShop:
Install_Dir - "C:\Program Files\topMoxie"

However, to their credit, upon launching LimeWire after removing LimeShop, javarun was not launched, nor was it re-entered into the registry to load on startup. A quick right-click on the topMoxie folder & a Shift+Delete was all that was need after that (well, in addition to removing the above-mentioned reg key)!
