I deleted it off the add/remove program list but now everytime i start the computer the windows defender tells me he found potentially malicious software(Kazaa, medium threat), i click remove all, but still next time i start the computer it will do it again. and with the limewire thing it always (every few minutes) pops up, tells me i have a invalid file (java sign in left conor of window) and i need to to download and install limewire again. I also removed this program from the add/remove list. i don't want either one on my pc. please help!!???!! Thank you

Here is the proof why I hate file sharers. It does seem a bit rusty, because it isn't getting removed by itself. The best I can advise you is that prowl throughout your computer, searching for any file of Kazaa/Limeware and deleting them. You can also remove their registry keys, which must have become invalid, by downloading the free software and then running it.

If you have windows XP, you can try a system restore to a date earlier than when he installed the software. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore -> Select restore my computer and follow prompts. If that doesn't help you can also use a program called msconfig. Go to start -> click run -> type msconfig. Select startup and uncheck all process that have to do with Kazza

Remove it from msconfig.
Start -> Run, type msconfig and click OK.
At the msconfig dialog box, click startup and uncheck the programs you don't want them to start when windows starts. Click OK. Reboot your PC.

Go to start-control panel-then from there, you should see something called add/remove programs. press that and find the programs you want to uninstall. it should be in alphabetical order.
