LimeWire

LimeWire automatically installs LimeShop, which monitors your on-line purchases and redirects sales commissions belonging to other referring sites to LimeWire. Uninstalling LimeWire does not automatically remove LimeShop, so they should be removed at the same time you remove LimeWire. To uninstall LimeShop and LimeWire:

1. Make sure LimeWire is not running by checking your system tray. In the bottom right corner of your screen near the clock, look for the LimeWire icon. If you only see a few icons, there is a blue circle icon between the light blue system tray and dark blue taskbar that you can click on to show all your system tray icons.
2. Right-click on the LimeWire system tray icon and select Exit.
3. Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.
   Note: If you are running Windows XP and the My Computer icon does not appear on your desktop, choose My Computer from the Start menu.
4. Double-click on Control Panel.
5. Double-click on Add/Remove Programs.
6. Select LimeShop. Click Add/Remove.
7. Click OK.
8. Select LimeWire. Click Add/Remove.
9. Follow the Uninstall directions that appear, then click OK.
10. Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.
    Note: If you are running Windows XP and the My Computer icon does not appear on your desktop, choose My Computer from the Start menu.
11. Open the Program Files folder.
12. Right-click on the LimeShop folder. From the menu which appears, choose Delete.
13. When you are asked if you are sure you want to remove the folder, click Yes.
14. Right-click on the LimeWire folder. From the menu which appears, choose Delete.
15. When you are asked if you are sure you want to remove the folder, click Yes.

After uninstalling LimeWire, you should run a spyware removal tool such as Ad-aware to remove any adware and spyware that may have been installed by LimeWire.
