Problem With Limewire

Well today I noticed that I was sharing over 200 files, when I only had about 20 files in my shared folder. Then I discovered that there was another folder that downloaded itself with the 200 files in it. I deleted that folder and reseted my computer. Again the folder was downloaded. So I uninstalled limewore. Now every 5 mins I get this pop up saying that limewire was unable to load. It keeps trying to launch itself, even though I uninstalled it. what should I do?? My only guess is that limewire is being run by another program, is there any way I can find out what program is running it?

hmm. have you tried a a virus scan or somethin?? I dunno, limewire sucks ass anyways, Ares is the best

shit I hope I don't have a virus, cause I don't have a virus scanner...which one should I download?

mayb limewire is still in your startup, it tries to load but cant as there is no program installed??? mayb check your startup and see.

maybe...except I don't know how to do that? could you tell me and try to make it as easy as you can?

ok, best thing 2 do is click on my computer..so it opens, then on the left should be a "add or remove program" double click that...wait 4 a new screen 2 pop up..check if its there...if it is..click it 2 remove...if not...well, then it may be just a lil bit harder

ya it isn't there. I alrdy uninstalled it, but he keeps trying to launch itself. But it can't cause I'm missing the files.

ok...then just maybe im pullin this outta my ass, but click start look 4 it, and see if its in there??

nope, it might be the the start up like the other guy suggested. Does anyone know how to access it?

you think thats a problem my lime wire dosent even connect

Ok everytime I start up limewire, a new shared folder gets created called "Complete" In this folder is over 100 unzipped files such as porn, movies, and programs. I don't know how this folder gets created but I want it to stop. Now I looked at the properities of the folder, and it is "hidden" Theres a check mark on the box beside hidden and it is unabled to be changed. Now I just want to know how I can delete this folder without it coming back.

plz help me!!!!!

yeah and who the fuck are you? you cant say Limewire sucks until you have 18 posts.

fuck the problem isn't with limewire anymore. Its the folder, I keep on deleted it and the contents within but it keeps on coming back everytime I restart my computer. What should I do?

whys that?? ....I've had that shit before..got a virus, just downloadin it..so I havent liked it since then

ok, I think my problem might be spyware...any recommendations of a free spyware removal I could download? ..or could someone send me a good one that you would normally pay for ??

ok well obviosly he likes Limewire and is just having a issue with it and he needs help on fixing it. Don't say it sucks becuase Limewire is really good. What's so bad about Limewire? Don't even say "fake stuff" or anything becuase ALL p2p programs have that here and there...

alright then. fine I take it back, but I have 2 say, that ares is a better way 2 go...I havent found a problem yet with it..

what kind of "problems" did you have with Limewire?

hmm, just when downloading it...a pop-up from my anti-virus popped up, making a screcching noise, and on it read, some shit and I could only hit one button which was "derminate" that and my ad-aware program popped up sayin some shit about a d/l not safe, and should abort or some crap...I really didnt care, I just wanted out of limewire from then on

Someone said it could still be in your startup. If it is, try this:

Go to START> Run> type msconfig> STARTUP

If theres anything in there that is about limewire UNcheck it.

nope, nothing there, I think it might be adware since its a folder that keeps adding itself everytime I reset my computer. How would I get rid of it?

Are you sharing all your documents?

answer: Limewire on your computer is set to be a 'supernode' or gateway, I forget what limewire calls it...but in file sharing programs u can basically chose an option to turn you are computer into a hub or gateway for others. Soo files get sent through you to others. Basically, if one person has a file and 25 people are trying to get it, limewire will automatically dish out the file to supernodes to help spread the bandwidth. Just uncheck this option and you should be fine.

God some of you talk crap.

If you are having problems with the application, the best option is to reinstall Limewire, then scan your PC for media. Once this has completed, to prevent users downloading your files, go to "Tools" then "Options" then in the menu you will see "Sharing" click the directory shown there once and then to the right of it you will see "Remove" click that.

Done.

Edit; That was translated whilst clicking around in my Spanish version, the English version may not be the same.

where did you get your limewire?? from the site or did some one send it you?

Quite obviously the site Image file not present in the recovered backup

okay. here's what you do.
shut down all programs you're currently working with. (I dont mean u have to end every tasks.. but things such as Photoshop or whatever if you're running them right now).

now.
open this:
http://[IP address redacted]/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

and post your log here and I will check whats wrong. capiche?

get "webroot spyware sweeper" on a free trial. also try going to the run option on the start menu then type msconfig then on the general tab select diagnostic setup.
