Uninstallation
 

I am trying to uninstall Limewire because it has basically damaged my Java program. So, I go into the Add/Remove Program control panel, and I select Limewire to uninstall. It will not let me uninstall Limewire because it says I need a newer service pack for the installer. I have an idea of what this means, but I checked in Windows updates and it says that I have the most up to date service packs. I REALLY want to get rid of Limewire because it is messing up my computer badly. Does anyone know what I should do? Please help...

C'mon
 

Please help me with this...I have to get rid of this junk because my good computer is being destroyed.

LimeWire doesn't do anything to computers unless it is running. Having it installed isn't going to cause any problems.

LimeWire uses Java to run - that is all. You may want to download a fresh version of Java and re-install.

You may find that it is a good idea to find an up-to-date virus checker and sweep your system.

If advertising programs are causing you a problem, go to www.lavasoft.de and get Ad-Aware (don't worry - the site is in english (the software supports multiple languages)).

Beyond that - you could find a registry editor to clean out the registry (be careful - don't do it if you don't know what you are doing).

The LimeWire files are stored in c:\program files\LimeWire by default - you can delete this folder.
