uhh this is old news pal. slashdot.org and a couple other big techie sites have ran a story about it. also if you go to limewire.com you can d/l v 2.0.4 without the trojan installer.

I still have limewire client v.1.6b. I scanned my registry and found one instance of "clicktilluwin" and "w32.DIDer". Does v 2.0.4 remove these registry entries also or just install a new version?

It just installs a new version.

Any suggestions on how to remove the "clicktilluwin" and"W32.DIDer" entries from the registry? Thanks.

www.lavasoftUSA.com and look for the program Ad-aware, it's a utility to remove trojans and stuff...
