Run a search of your harddrive for Limewire and just rightclick and click
delete every incident. Also, you can run a search/find in your Registry for
Limewire. Start>Run>type regedit and press OK. Click Edit and then Find
type limewire then Find, also rightclick each incident and click delete. In
the Registry click F3 to find all incidents of Limewire.
 
Hi Byte thank you for the help as I have uninstalled at your suggestion from
another post of mine...is my hard drive C:? Also I searched in my files and
folders to see if anything from limewire still remains and there was one item
and it said Cannot delete file:Cannot read from the source file or disk. I
look forward to your reply.
thank you wendy

Oh oh Byte i also found edonkey in registry editor, although i don't
remember downloading it...anyway under registry editor there is a folder to
the left labeled edonkey..and then to the right there is a lot of entries
under the columns Name, Type & Data do i also delete all of those....

In my 13 yrs olds terminology You guys rock.....
 
What problem did you have with Limewire? I always found it to be amongst
the best of the peer to peer apps?
 
Hi marco...my computer was running fine until i downloaded limewire...I now
am working on unistalling it and all the malware and pop-ups that i have
gotten since joining up. Also I went to their help forums a couple of times
and people are very small minded and ignorant there....So even though i've
paid for my subscription I won't use it again...I guess everyone to each
their own...Good luck with it.

Yes, your harddrive is "C", unless you have two of them, which may be
your "D" drive. In your case your "D" is probably your CD/DVD.
 
Hi again Byte..could you please look at my 2nd last entry here as I had a
couple more questions for you re:uninstalling
thank you

If you are referring to eDonkey, delete everything related to it.
It is P2P (peer to peer), which is file sharing, and technically illegal.
 
Here are my other questions Byte..once again thank you for your help.
