![]() Forget downloading all the spyware programs, I have a very simple and 100 % effective way to stop Limewire. I have been having the same problem with Limewire starting on its own and not being able to shut it down. And everytime I would uninstall and reinstall it. This would help, but only for a little while, then it would do it all over agian. Now, Start your computer in safe mode (while computer is booting up, hit F8 repeatedly to get it to enter safe mode) Now mind you this is XP I'm working with, so if you have another operating system, I hope this still applies. When in safe mode, go into My Computer- C drive- documents and settings- all users- start menu- programs- startup.... then in there if there is a file called svchost (it will be an .exe file) delete it. This is what starts Limewire and it gets downloaded to yur computer everytime windows does and automatic update. It is a windows file, but is unnessesary and only causes problems. At least it does for me, and this is the only way I've ever been able to get limewire to back off. Deleting it has never causes my computer any problems, I hope this helps someone out there |

![]() There are heaps of infected files available for download...torrents and files on the gnutella network. Many program files that you search for within LW will be infected or not work because they're missing a key or missing some files. Always check the file with Bitzi before download. How to use Bitzi If you're searching for a file on a torrent site, always check the comments on the file...that's where you'll find out if the file's good or bad. If there are no comments on the file, I'd leave it alone ![]() Sometimes it's just easier to buy the game. |

![]() I found that Limewire is really poor for programs one of the few Ive got to work really well is the *Read The Forum Rules*program very good but if you want to download games your best bet would be a private torrent download there was one I found that was still open but I found it to confusing you might be a bit more up on how to upload and all that sort of stuff you have bonus hours and you have to give back what you take by uploading a percentage of what you download it all sounds really cool but I just couldnt figure it out the torrent is rtshq.net if you can figure this out you can get alot of stuff good luck ![]() ╒════════════ ILLEGAL ACTIVITY ════════════╕ __________________________________________________ Edited to comply with the House Rules.
