    ok, so i installed limewire (dont ask), and noticed an immediate decrease in performance, and web browsing. so i figured i could just uninstall it, and be good to go, but its still very sluggish. is there a way to help bring my computer back? i already ran ccleaner and ad-aware, and still nothing. please help me, i dont know why i installed limewire, but now i can see why people dont install it :(

    wierd thing, my computer got better, but i didnt follow those steps. i noticed my comp was running hot before i left, so i put it in front of a fan. came back, and performance was back to normal. so mayb i didnt need to delete limewire. but im pretty sure i wont get it back

    *btw- i didnt have any of those reg entries when i look in regedit, so i guess im good to go
