Hi,

Good. I was just going to tell you to do that.

If you have already removed LimeWire, the following folders should also be deleted, but you'll need to set the hidden files to show first.

Go to My Computer> Tools> Folder Options> View>"Uncheck" Hide protected operating system files. Click Apply>OK.

** These files are hidden to stop you or anybody else accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after you're done. **

C:\Program Files\LimeWire
C:\Documents and Settings\My C840\Application Data\LimeWire

You might also consider removing BearShare via Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and delete its folders too:

C:\Documents and Settings\My C840\Application Data\BearShare
C:\Program Files\BearShare Applications

=======================================

Scan with HijackThis and put a checkmark against the following entries:

O16 - DPF: {2BC66F54-93A8-11D3-BEB6-00105AA9B6AE} (Symantec AntiVirus scanner) - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/S...in/AvSniff.cab
O16 - DPF: {644E432F-49D3-41A1-8DD5-E099162EEEC5} (Symantec RuFSI Utility Class) - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/S.../bin/cabsa.cab

Close all browsers and click on "fix checked".

=======================================

Restart your computer

=======================================

Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and remove if Kaspersky online scanner is present prior to downloading the most up-to-date one.

Now run this online scan using Internet Explorer:

Copy and paste that information from Kapersky in your next post.

*Note
It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans for no conflicts and to speed up scan time.
Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once scan is finished remember to re-enable resident antivirus protection along with whatever antispyware app you use.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

Or use Firefox with IE-Tab plugin
