LimeWire wont uninstall!

[Bennard]

My Limewire had a virus and it would pop up all the time even when you closed it. I Tried to uninstall Limewire all together so i dont have to deal with it. I uninstalled and restarted my computer and LW still tries to start up and i get a message that some files are missing , and that pops up all the time, and LW is still on my computer. How in the F@#$ do i stop this MONSTER!!.

You probably have a worm.

Try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 here, it's worked for a lot of people.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan files that you've downloaded before you open them.

Just curious are you running Vista or XP

Grandpa, they're running Vista AFAIK. Their other post was about Vista.

I gave them the BFU fix because it's worked for another Vista user before

Thanx Everybody, I used the BFU fix and it worked great. I found the fix on a thread in this forum before anyone replied. Guess i should have looked around first! but thanx anyway
