Hi all.

I followed step by step the instructions just starting this thread.

Everything is great. My computer is not slow anymore, LM is not poping up, Performance at Task Manager is ok.... even the fan is not runing all the time

The only one thing I need to ask is this: There is still a process that makes CPU usage almost up to 100%, and its name is "Proceso inactivo del sistema", Im using winXP in spanish, so it might be SYSTEM INACTIVE PROCESS or something like that..... Is that one normal??

At a begining it seemed to me that this process just took the place of winupdates, but the good behave of my computer makes me to think this is normal.



Other history part 1: Thanks to those who are helping us to get rid of this problems.

Other history part 2: To those who have not been helped yet... be patient. This is not easy

Yes thats your "system idle process" and that shows how much is not being used, and thats where it should be if your not running any programs. It looks like your good to go.

In the future be careful what you d/l.

yesssssssss....

that's so good to know!!!

here I come with another question:

In my shared folder i have around 36 files, some of them are downloaded, some other I decide to put them there to share.

In the green box of LW, it shows 169. I think that means I am sharing 169 files. That amount became big while I was having the virus im my PC, now should I delet them?... where are they really located??

Scan them with your AV. Are they zip files? If yes, then delete them. Check their sizes & compare them to the sizes listed in the link above. These zips will multiply.

The think is that I can see the number 169 at the left bottom of LW, if I place the mouse over there it say "you are sharing 169 files".

but I dont have that amount of files in the share folder, and then I dont know what files those are, neither where they located are!

Is there a way to know it?

PD. If there is something that doesnt make a sense, try to get it!, English is not my native lenguage

Go to your LW Library window. This window shows which folders you're sharing. You can use the Explore button to look at what's in each folder. Go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) But that's for the Saved Files folder. You can use the explore button on any of the others. The saved files folder is not itself shared, but the "Shared" folder is. Saved files folder is purely a reference folder within LW to show you what your most recent downlded files are. Sorry if that sounds confusing. BTW if you speak spanish, there's a Español section on the forum: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumd...ne=&forumid=79 & backmann is the best person to speak Español with.

humm...

I got to see something extrange in a folder called UPLOADS.

There are 170 zip files, I have no idea where they came from, I mean, I have dowload only music no zip files.

I will not open them, they will be deleted right away. Right?

Yes you should delete them asap. Double-check your system over to make sure you don't still have any virus.

Do you have these utilities: 1. ad-ware (FREE), & also 2. Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE),
3. Keep your AV & firewall active.
4. It might be worth talking to Norbie here http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/Downloads/c=2.html

I am having the same problem that a few users in this thread are. When I get the task manager up, there is no process that is taking up space, and thusly I can't find anything on the Registry Editor. Limewire still pops up and then I get a bagillion files downloaded into my "Complete" folder.

Any advice would be appreciated.
