Limewire/Gnunella forums destroyed my computer

uh huh...well IC now that LOTR advised you to download that version...and I assume its a valid one....which means you got no problems from that download/install, rather said other issues came in some other fashion...

you do have to prove your point...said point being that you got compromised because of this forum...I don't think so...it would be best if you realized that also...

perhaps there was a virus in that mp3....or more likely that mp3 was no mp3 but a .exe virus named as an mp3...

Though I may have downloaded the virus myself my primary question remains unanswered and that is:

How do I remove this infected Limewire, and the damage it has done, from my computer?
And if it's a legitimate safe version why can't I just "Add/remove programs" as simple as 1-2-3?
And why, oh why, doesn't Limewire even appear on my All Programs list?

It appears to me that the site I was directed to, thru Gnuella, is somehow not right because I can't remove it. Wouldn't this seem so to you?

"My punishment" for using Limewire for free, is mainly Limewire's fault for having no apparent help/contact, unless you are a paying member.

Being not so computer-inclined I assumed that the download I was given was a filter against viruses and "infiltrators" as Limewire warned. After all that was why I wanted to download it to begin with at Limewire's urging.

Limewire should provide the methods for removing vulnerable infected Limewire versions.

Since they don't, I appeal to Gnuella Forums for some sound instruction. So far it hasn't worked out well. And I see few alternatives that I can rely on. the myriad of websites that claim to remove it could be equally insidious. How do I know which is good and which is not? So where does one turn?

AFAIK you have to remove LW via its own uninstaller...access this via Start>All Programs>LimeWire

you may have to reinstall the version you downloaded then do the above
