Default LimeWire & Kazaa is infiltrating my PC!

Yeah, two years ago I used Kazaa... when I realised it sucked I deleted it.

Now, when I'm using LimeWire, Kazaa is haunting my computer. LimeWire downloaded LOTS of useless files, which I didn't tell it to. And now Kazaa started to do this as well! So I deleted EVERYTING I could find of both the programs. However, the **** is still downloading and I can't find nor delete it. Where (except the deleted Shared) is the files? My harddrive is filled with this, I have only 2 mb left now! And if I take it away, I'll have 300 mb.
I fear my harddrive will crash. I have to find your bloody files and delete them, BUT WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY!?

I'm sorry if there already are this kinda thread, but with 2 mb - I have no time to search.

See some useful links here: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! It's my guess they're zips & they're multiplying but I might be wrong. I think 'at least' one of those thread links discussed a similar problem & where to find them & how to fix it.

You should be aware that Kazza is full of spyware. and i guess some hacker gained access to your computer and planted a virus in your computer. and here your answer why your LW is downloading them. you need to use anti-virus program to scan your computer for virus

ok, here is something you might try, go to start, run, then type in "regedit.exe" without quotes. Then go to edit, find, check off keys, values, and data. then search kazaa. delete any file that is named kazaa. that might help.
