Cannot Get Rid of Components! Someone please help, ASAP!!!
Ok, here's the story: I was dumb-enough to download and attempt to install Limewire, (which I have regretted many times since), but was never able to successfully complete the operation. I tried it several times in a variety of fashions, however the installation was always aborted near the end with an error to the effect of "Unable to create icons" or some crap like that. By this point, I was so disgusted with the whole thing I just wanted to get the crap off my system. However, when I attempted to delete the installed components, I was unable to do so because of a memory-access violation. (They must be in use by the system somewhere.)
Thus far: I have removed all traces of Limewire, BonziBuddy and Cydoor from the registery, I have run Ad-Aware, I have tried deleting the files from the DOS prompt, I have checked the list of running programs/processes and shut-down any possibles and I have restarted WinXP in safe mode, all to no avail. No matter what I do, I always get a memory-access violation.
I really don't like the idea of having spy-ware on my system , but everything I have tried thus far has ended in failure. Does anyone know how to get this crap off my system? If you do, PLEASE, PLEASE e-mail me ASAP!!!! shetzel@cc.usu.edu
Thank you.
