go to add remove programs and uninstall them

Here is the proof why I despise 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.

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.

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

Frostwire, Limewire.

I recommend Frostwire. It has an simple to use interface and shows a lot of results. As always be careful to read the size and length of files and not to download anything copy written.
Limewire really has gone more mainstream and tries to get you to upgrade and hold things. Toodles

Partner in prestigious Sydney technology law firm, Gilbert + Tobin, Michael Williams, was a key player in the infamous Kazaa case, recently fought in the Centralized Court of Australia. In this interview, Michael describes what it was like to appear (as a solicitor) in the witness box and the high drama of the Anton Piller orders (which enabled Michael’s client and its 65-strong team to capture computers from 13 locations, simultaneously, all over Australia).

Mr Williams describes the fundamental issues of the case and explores the degree to which the Internet remains a strangely lawless zone. He talks about his early work in 2002 for the American movie studios and recording companies in the Grokster case. Then in 2003, when aspects of Kazaa went to Australia, he started the investigation that led to the Kazaa case we know today. Michael Williams analyses what the Kazaa system comprised and how the law has adapted to address its challenges. He talks about the extent to which anyone on the Internet today is visible to the copyright establishment when they carry out acts of piracy. And he reviews the sentences that have been agreed to pirates so far, right through to jail. Williams goes on to tackle the latest issues raised by the Sony BMG “root kit”, an ill-fated attempt to realize content copy …
