Thx Afisk for your sincerity and integrity of information. | ETraffic appears to be part of the TopMoxie package that is installed with the "free" version of LimeWire. You're right, however, that uninstalling LimeWire won't get rid of TopMoxie. I can't remember if Ad-Aware even catches it... I don't believe it did. I seem to remember having to delete the TopMoxie directory manually. (I also went one step further and used "msconfig" to manually remove the ETraffic component from my startup items.) |
