Also, i purchased Limewire Pro over a year ago with one of my current emails but its no longer on file and now after an update im back to limewire basic....what can i do to get my paid Pro version back?

Before you uninstalled limewire, did it keep opening up by itself all the time, even after you closed it ??

With your pro version, unless you backed up the installer you have lost it and will have to re-purchase it again...

You have a virus, so it's best to get rid of it, even if you do not choose to use limewire anymore...

hey i tried doing what u said and i get the load part and everything but when it comes to the part at the end where it tries "heuretics" the program (brute force) stops responding and will not complete. Also the file extension ".bfu" for the script doesn't show up i have to look for it in my file directory under "All Files" when im in the folder. Any thoughts? ideas? i really need to get this stuff off my computer i have laods of important information i need to save and can't make a backup for them. please help thanx in advance.

Your best bet is to go to one of these forums and get some pro advice on this, explain to them what you have tried, they will know about the BFU fix...
Good luck and let us know what they do tell you to do, so next time we can advise others...
