speed either has to do with you or the people you're downloading from.

Unfortunately I am away from home right now to check my registry. I believe you should go ahead and delete the Kazza bundleware it prob ally came from the original version you got they probably attached it to the LimeWire installer. I do recall the Magnet folder in my registry but Kazza was not in them. When I get back home I will check again my guess is you will have to manually delete them from your reg.

Checked my registry there is no kazza bundleware I downloaded Nuker And Etrust , Nuker showed the results you pasted above which I know is false because I searched my registry before and after I did the scan. I then read the reviews on them PC magazine gives Etrust a 1 out of 5 and is not recommended by them it has allot of problems. I could only find one review for Nuker it was from 2spyware.com they gave it a 1 1/2 out of 5 not recommended. I then scanned with Microsoft anti spyware found nothing , Spyware Doctor found nothing , and these are 2 of the highest rated spyware detectors on the market both 5 out of 5 , I also scanned with webroot spysweeper and nothing. Also scanned wit xoftspy it did detect Limewire as Adware I was actually impressed with the xoftspy. It detected the adware in the LimeWire basic installer that is in my download file and it also detected the BearShare installer neither of which are installed on my machine.The Pop up in basic is adware so technically it was right. Anyway I wouldn't worry about the Kazza thing it is a false positive from your spyware detectors.

Hi Guys

Sorry I've been away but I've got monitor problems, Also When Somebody Asks me to get their computer back up and running after Katrina, And He's In The USA, And I'm In Scotland, that to me, takes prefrance.

Hi

Have you thought about what your running when trying to download

Most Modems Today Take Their Power from the CPU, IF your trying to do a lot of diffrent tasks at the same time, It affects the speed of your modem

Hi Grandpa,

Certainly did your homework on that one and thanks for that.
I previously thought that the kazza was only reinstalling after I re ran limewire, partly true it does but it also reapears after I reboot but if it's nothing no probs and I guess that must be the same for the others you mentioned that saw the kazza bundlware.

I have just found out that when accessing international P2P's or any web sites for that matter from Thailand that are international the download speed will always be resticted due to something called CAT. Apparently all international traffic has to go through CAT by Thai law and that basically caps any speed potential you may have unless you are connecting to Thai sites that are held within Thailand, basically if I want international sites it is pointless suscribing to anything over 1 mb in Thailand at this time.

I am currently trying to access a DC++ hub that has been set up within Thailand by ex pats for this very reason that promises to realise my true connection speed but just my luck I have a lame router supplied by TOT that wont allow me "active" access and the site I need requires "active" only, so I can do passive on international sites but same slowmo. I have been advised to go and buy a branded router that will have a much better ADSL configuration package eg UPnp, port forwarding options etc.

Looking on the bright side I have learnt a hell of a lot during the past week in an area of computing I always considered to be a black art, its just annoying that this learning process always seems to = more cash, hopefully soon I will be able to do what I originally wanted when I got stung for $52 dollars by that limewire reseller and download full length movies and English TV,

Just out of curiosity Grandpa who is paying for you to test all these spyware packages, they all cost money right?

Thanks again for your support,

Most of the spyware programs offer free trials the ones that I do not already have I go to there sites an download them. The trial versions in most cases will not get rid of the spyware found you have to buy it if you want that feature. Allot of these spyware companies report any traces of any known threat and p2p software as spyware weather it is actually active or not. Kind of a deceptive sales tool it says you have this or that on your computer and you need to buy our software to get rid of it. Personally I would call this a scam.

I see where you paid $52.00 for LimeWire do you realize you have been scammed LimeWire basic is free and LimeWire pro cost $18.88 you might want to follow the advice in the links below.

The link below will take you to the official site

As for who pays The senior members here are volunteers and do what we do for the for the rewards of being able to help in what ever way we can. It makes me feel good to help if I can. Sometimes people get mad if we can not help but it doesn't bother me it just irritates me that some people want to blame us or the software for any problem they are having. Seems that some people always need something to blame for problems rather than trying to fix them.

Hi Grandpa,

Yes I know I got scammed good and proper, I was following links that promised movie downloads, seemed that $52 dollars was about right for a movie download site, assumed it meant copyright movies and not a bog standard P2P, Doh! Well im sure im not the first and explains why so many pissy posts I guess, the www has turned into one big scam as far as I can see, very sad when I saw so much promise from the early days of the old BBs where it was just types like you and i creating a non regulated file share enviroment, christ what happened?!!! just con after con I really pity non computer literate newbies like our granparents trying to come to grips with it all, minefield! I have been out of the loop for a few years due to emigration and makes me sick to see the corperate mess they made of the utopian dream, a sick perversion. Money money money where will it end? I can't even surf for a few hours without cookie crap invading my system, what can I do?who can I complain to? no one!

ON the up side there is a whole bunch of stuff I can do that I couldn't before so I can see some progress but I have grave doubts about the future of this meduim, hope i'm wrong and it seems like the P2P's are just about escaping the garbage for now, funny though that it requires no fancy grahics/flash, really just like ten years ago, people to people.

Anyway like I said learning experience and you have to be in it to win it, blatantly.

Thanks again for all your support Grandpa,

Ok i need to know,if the above statement is true ,why then does limewire pro claim "Turbo-charged download speeds"?
