    Ok, i tried downloading the free version of limewire yesterday.

    But i realized it wasnt working.

    So i am trying to delete it.

    but whenever i try to delete it it says that another program is using it. SO i looked in the Task Manager and there was nothing unusual.

    and since this file has the .exe extension i dont want it to stay on my pc.

    I have scanned my pc to see if any viruses or spyware had been added.
    but they all came out clean.

    So, if anyone can tell me how to delete it, or a program that can force it closed. that would be nice.


    I have Windows XP Home Edition 2003

    except you shouldnt use system restore unless its your last option. because it might restore to a point to where there were it will try a file that USED to be there and it might not be there anymore......then youre ----ed
