Post #1
My friend got me to try limewire, big mistake. I got rid of the pop up problem. Now there's a file called Limewirewin that I can't delete and it gives me the message "LimeWireWin is being used ny another person or program"

Thanks for any help!

I went in and deleted the file when I took limewire off my add/remove program list. Searched for Limewirewin and still couldn't delete it and I was in safe mode. Location of the file is mycomputer/owner's documents/LimeWireWin.exe

Please do this for me..
Navigate to the file LimeWireWin.exe right click the file and choose properties.

From there copy the location of the file and post that for me.
I have to be sure as the tool we are going to use is powerful. A mistake can be dreadful.

Oh so that's how you get the location of a file. I was kind of guessing the location. I right clicked on it and went to properties and got this location C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents

iTunes
______________________________
You have iTunesHelper.exe running at Startup. iTunesHelper.exe is a process belonging to Itunes MP3 streaming tool
by Apple which allows you to play MP3's. This process speeds up iTunes when it starts, and the program also monitors
for connected iPod devices. This program is not required to start automatically as you can start it manually if you need it.
It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. It may be worthwhile to fix it with HijackThis.
This is the item to fix in HijackThis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe




nwiz.exe

More than you would like too I assure you. Thats why we ask that everybody delete that entire folder and the program once your done.
If someone were to play with that the wrong way windows could die !
