Uninstall failed, and error messages ever 5 mins.
 
I was trying to uninstall lime wire post virus (win32RBOT, smitfraud, and Zlob worms.:bangh:.It's clean now.:whistling:) infection and removal on a non-computer literate friend's computer, but things have become corrupted in the process. I keep getting a limewire popup that says I need to install a new version of java. I triple checked my java, and ran the updates needed, but now I'm getting these error messages....

LimeWire version 4.16.6
Java version 1.6.0_03 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 31327728/33357824

STARTUP ERROR!

Running Windows XP, Sp1 currently, though in the process of updating as I type, The latest version of limewire as of today, and a high speed cable connection. I have re-installed java, and limewire, without a change.....the error messages still appear.

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & Remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java. Its the 4th one down in the Link below. Version 6 update 4
Java SE Downloads

Now Uninstall Limewire... Start > All Programs > Limewire > Uninstall.
Now Click Start > Search > All Files/Folders Type in limewire. Delete anything that it finds.

After Java's installed, install LW. When you click to download the LW installer, cancel the dialog box which pops up...now use the option to download the offline installer.
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire.
Hope this Helps

Same Error
 
Ok I have Vista, newest java installed, and i don't know how to remove above viruses and i keep getting a lot of nasty porn downloads in a hidden folder that i surely did not download. If possible a link to a site that has this info, or a step by step reply.

Another problem i have is that when i try to open limewire options they immediately close so it is sharing files and downloading random stuff, and uploading my music.

Thanks in advance;

P.S. I really know computers and i can usually get rid of virus' but have never had a couple virus' this hard.


I have windows vista home premium
1GB DDR2 Ram
3.2 G Hz Processor
28.8 kbps Connect
2-3 kbps Download
