I have just deleted LimeWire and I heard that it gives you a lot of Spyware, Adware, and Viruses. Is there a big posibility that I have all these hidden on my computer even though i deleted LimeWire?
LimeWire Threat?cafe racer
Limewire in its self contains no adware, spyware, virus or other malware.
The files you download get be infected.
Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.
Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/communi...
Now restart in safe mode.
To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon boot up.
Select "Safe mode with Network".
Go to Start - Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
