Yes. Anything you put on your computer isn't really gone if you delete it- it just doesn't appear in the system registry (this fact often helps the FBI build cases against criminals like pedophiles).
The only way to really protect yourself is to format the hard drive, get a good registry cleaning program, or one that 'shreds' (deliberately corrupts) deleted files so that they're impossible to identify.
If I were you, I would also make sure that you disable uploading from your machine- that limits the amount of damage you can be held liable for because you never shared with anyone else.
What else can I help you with?
If you send your mac to repair and you have deleted LimeWire will there still be any way the repair men can see it on the hard drive?
What does it matter? It is not illegal to have Limewire on your computer.
If you delete LimeWire are you safe from the law?
Well yes you are safe from the law, but your not exactly. Unless you remove all downloaded content from limewire then technically you are still breaking the law by having illegal copies of media. Also if you have imported and music or files from limewire into another program, I suggest you get rid of these files as a little box will appear from limewire saying that some files are corrupt, although they are not, because limewire is not there. If these files are not deleted then limewire will corrupt your whole system as I found out last year. I ended up having to re-format. The safest thign to do is remove limewire and all file downloaded by it, no matter what program they're in.
If you download LimeWire and you pay for it does it still give you a virus?
yes because the song is downloaded from the other computer, and when you do that it also downloads any virus that may attach itself to the file... my advice is if you are willing to pay for limewire pro then you should just buy the songs off of iTunes.
How can you remove the corrupted file from your computer?
If you deleted it from the recycling bin and it's still there try resetting your computer to a day or two before you downloaded it. And to make your life slightly easier, before completing this task you should copy the files that have been modified after you downloaded this to an external hard drive or a friend's computer. Good luck!
If you have frostwire and LimeWire if you delete LimeWire will all the songs in frost wire still work and work in itunes?
FrostWire and LimeWire store music in your documents folder, or whatever folder you specify. Uninstalling / deleting them does not remove the files you downloaded.
How can you get connected to limewire if you have it downloaded but it won't connect?
i have been trying in vain but it still wont work the one on my sist4e4rs file does but not mine!!!
If LimeWire is so illegal then why is it still on the internet?
Because limewire is a peer to peer server, meaning that their is no central thing that operates it somewhere, to stop limewire the police would have to go to every computer in the world that has limewire on it and manually delete it off of every computer. As long as two people have limewire and are sharing files with each other it will keep going.
If you cancel download halfway through using LimeWire are parts of that file still on the computer or are they deleted. If not how can I delete them and save space?
go to the Library, and then click on Incomplete Files on the left side menu. There should also be a folder somewhere in the Documents folder or Downloads or something, a folder called Incomplete. But LimeWire will delete the files after a few days anyway, you should be able to change how many days in the options
Can you still turn off your computer even when something is being downloaded?
yes but i believe that the download stops.
Can you still download free music off of Limewire if you download a newer version of it?
of course. the .mp3 file you get from limewire can be played using any media player, no matter what version. I have the new itunes (8) and my music downloaded from limewire works perfectly.
How to delete LimeWire on computer?
I couldn't delete Limewire. Kept on getting a pop-up that said there was a problem. I uninstalled the program & still it remained. Anyhow i found how to rid it & it was quite simple. Restart your computer in safe mode( when it's booting up, keep pressing F8). Once in safe mode you can go to C/Program files/Limewire, then delete the folder. hope this helps ED
Should you still use LimeWire?
I know that when I used Limewire on my Dell computer and Windows ME that the program crashed my system several times. I'm not a big fan of Limewire. * Windows ME isn't very stable to begin with, the problem might not be with what programs are running on it. * If Limewire is causing problems with your system, by all means stop using it until you track down the problem. == == Heck NO! It's illegal!
