Say I downloaded limewire, found out it slows up my computer. If I deleted the limewire file, would it restore my computer to its normal speed?

There a lot of reasons your computer can get slow.\n\nIt can get slow if you are running out of disk space or if limewire is running in the background taking up CPU cycles. Uninstalling it will fix this.\n\nYou can also clear out your Internet Cache to free up disk space. This is in the Internet Explorer "Tool: Internet Options". Menu. Select "Delete Files".\n\nAnother problem is temporary files that never get deleted. I've seen thousands of files left around in the temporary folder. You can clean this up by clicking on the Start button and selecting "All Programs : Accessories : System Tools : Disk Cleanup". CAUTION: This tool will offer to do a lot more than it should. Only select the following. Make sure everything else is unselected.\n\n   "Downloaded Programs"\n   "Temporary Internet Files"\n   "Recycle Bin"\n   <anything with the words 'log' or 'temporary.>\n\nChances are you also have adware or spyware, or even viruses on your computer slowing it down. A friend of mine has a computer that was so infected it took 10 minutes just to start up.\n\nYou should install a good virus scanning program. If you already have one, make sure it is up to date. The virus scanner I use on my home computer is AVG. Best of all, it's free for home use.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nNext, a good adware/spyware scanner if Microsoft Defender. Again, this is free (for the time being).\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n\nA problem with both Microsoft Defender and AVG is they schedule a scan of your computer every night by default. This is a bad thing because it will put way too much wear-and-tear on your computer. Turn off any scheduled scans.\n\nAnother good spyware scanner (again free) is AdAware.\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nFinally, and this one is a difficult one to fix, you probably have a bunch of stuff auto-starting that shouldn't. For example QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat and RealAudio, Microsoft Office, all install little programs that automatically start when your computer starts. These programs are supposed to make the companies main program start up quicker. They load a part of the main program in memory so the next time you want to run Acrobat it runs quicker. The problem is, it uses up your RAM and makes everything else run slower. You can use a special program named MSCONFIG to fix this. You can also use a program called HijackThis which you can download from the web. The problem with these tools is you need to know what should automatically start with your computer, and what shouldn't.\n\nAlso, if you have popups that pop up when you aren't even browsing or when you are at a webpage that shouldn't have popups, your computer has been hijacked by spyware. The only way to get rid of this is to use HijackThis. Download it from the web and have it generate a log file. Then post the log file here (or send me a message with it).\n\nBTW, eMule is much better than limewire and doesn't have spyware.\nhttp://www.emule-project.net/

If you dont know what you're doing I would leave limewire alone.  Twice I have got bad viruses on my PC from limewire files - the last one was so bad I had to throw the computer away and buy a new one.  Also it is illegal - not that people care.  I would never use it again xx

I use limewire and whenever a corrupt file is being downloaded it pops up a window, it asks if you want to continue to download this file (which of course you say NO) then delete that file completely \nas for downloading iPod songs (I believe those are .mp4 music file/format) you can use a sound editing program to convert those types of files from .mp4 to .mp3 file/format if you are wanting to burn them to regular cd's. \nand it doesn't hurt to scan your music/files/folders for viruses after downloads are complete. it's better to be safe than sorry, right? \nrock on

If you delete the file, it is gone.  It might leave traces on the hard drive but unless you anticipate the government searching your hard drive I wouldn't worry about it, it is gone.  Norton does make some software to get rid of it completely, it is bundled with SystemWorks.

You can download virtually any software from limewire, illegally. What your actually doing is downloading a copy of the software purchased by someone else. It will probably work, will slow down your system, and cannot be registered with adobe.

get a screwdriver and open up your computer case. the way to get the files out will become clear.\n\nedit: don't listen to the other ****s on here. Limewire will install spyware on your computer! for real.

It will make your system a bit little slower as it also backs up the files those were created after the restore point is created by u or by windows. So after a system restore u should try a system cleanup (using Disk Cleanup or CCleaner) and a disk defragmentation. Hope this will work. Good Luck!

YES\n\nwhen you download a file(fileA)\nyou computer can only recivived bit by bit at a time(packets)\nso it needs to tell the site that i recivied that file and needs the next one. so it uploads just a little but back to the site, \n\nif you are someone is uploading from you, that slows the download your too.\n\n\nthis apply to all internet activiy :)\n\nthat y leecher(when you don't share) is such a bad name:(

I like the way LimeWire currently runs (I'm running on a free version of LimeWire Pro myself =p) - but if they could upgrade it a little bit more - it sure would help with the filtering (I hate searching for something and then getting zip file results - I don't know what they are, but it's a shady looking file at 850kb; probably a virus).

As far as ares all you do is type in the name of what ever you are looking for in the search bar where it says search,Then a list will come up,and click the one you want it hit download,Then go to Transfer and it will show you  how fast it is downloading,And when it is done,Then hit clear idle and go to your library and look under audio and find your songs.Then if you are downloading  software always click the software button under search.As far as lime wire,If you are running both programs at one it is going to be slow and sometimes shut the other one down,You really should just remove Lime wire it is full of spy ware and virus,Ares is easy,If you need more help hit me @ yahoo click my name

the speed is depending on how many people download the file and uploaders' internet speed. Well I don't really want to suggest you limewire. I believe some files in Limewire contain Virus...

In my opinion Kazaa is a waste of your time.. it basically downloads a shitload of spyware that will really slow down your computer. The bad thing is all the spyware takes forever &* a day to get off your system. It just isnt worth it, save yourself the trouble &* download limewire <3
