Limewire
by nicki73 September 10, 2007 10:15 PM PDT
Limewire took my memory and made my computer so slow it actually crashed. My computer has so much memory and so many external memory resources that I find it hard to believe that Limewire did not access every single file on my computer. IT IS SPYWARE, NO QUESTION, SO AT THIS TIME LIMEWIRE MUST BE SORRY THEY HAVE A STRING BACK TO THEM FROM MY COMPUTER BECAUSE I CREATED A SOFTWARE THAT SHOWS ME THE STRINGS AND EXACT TRAVEL OF SIGNAL. It is against the law to program a software that spys on the users actions. Just to let you know, if you are Limewire you think you are watching me but inreality you are watching a mirror image of yourself in a matrix. So take that and use it, by the way scalar and others will not show you what I have done, the address will only show you what you want to see, keep you busy in a string of your own messes.

You will never know what hit you, Im better than you and Im one of the good guys so choke on that!

FileSharing Programs

I know thi to be true. I have been in computers for 15 year, and whenever the clients kids get limewire or kaza...wow, the registry bloats with entries and I am called to get the computer back in order again. I see new entries in C:\windows(winnt)\system32 and in C:\programs\commonfiles and more. I remove all by hand. The auto programs wil not get it all, and I probably don't either, but I get more of it, and stop the bakground activity.

Limewire is a bad program to install. Same with Kazza
