Hi,

Some optional uninstalls..

LimeWire 4.16.6
Even when a program like this is not infected itself, it will still bring malware into your system because more than half of all files available for download from peer-to-peer networks have been deliberately infected with some form of malware. I recommend that you remove this program from your system.

Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player
are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". In 2006, this may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware.

*If you choose to remove those optionals, click start > control panel > add or remove programs > uninstall the optionals.

Delete the following folders if you uninstalled their corresponding programs:

C:\program files\Limewire
C:\program files\Viewpoint
