Thx Afisk for your sincerity and integrity of information.
ETraffic appears to be part of the TopMoxie package that is installed with the "free" version of LimeWire. You're right, however, that uninstalling LimeWire won't get rid of TopMoxie. I can't remember if Ad-Aware even catches it... I don't believe it did. I seem to remember having to delete the TopMoxie directory manually. (I also went one step further and used "msconfig" to manually remove the ETraffic component from my startup items.)
