get rid of scumware that comes with LW

#1 (**permalink**) March 6th, 2002

For anyone worried about cydoor and top moxie being installed with the free version of limewire go <a href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com/index.html"> HERE </a> and install adaware... gets rid of all the scumware that comes with LW. LW still works after spyware is removed.... or you can manually delete everything by going <a href="http://www.cexx.org/cydoor.htm"> HERE </a>

Adaware already knows Topmoxie? That is News to me.
Well it is clear´, that it will be added someday, but I think, that hasn´t happened yet

Is this stuff only related to the windoze-version or also to unix?

Top moxie not yet... but cydoor yes....

cydoor is the one that needs to be taken out... i was not impressed when i found out it had been installed along with LW... top moxie however i am not too familiar with...

this is for win. yes.... for unix/linux i have no idea what to do about it

They say nothing is bundled with the linux version. For Cydoor this must be true, because Cydoor for Linux doesn´t exist. For TopMoxie/Limeshop I am not sure, because this is java and could run on a linux platform, but signs point to no.
*If it was there someone would have noticed and posted it, because Linux users easily get upset, when a program messes up their configurations.
*Linux has several browsers, and they are all far more difficult to hijack than MsIexplore.
*Limewire says, it is not included.

to get rid of top moxie from windows delete folder form program files and all instances from reg. Found in ETraffic .

works better if you have a backup of your reg before the LW installation.

ahh **** this... LW sucks *** anyways
