There's recently been a spate of problems with people's LimeWire continually popping up & also opening at system startup despite settings to stop this. A very resourceful person(s) has been able to find the reasons & solutions for this problem. I will include some links to the main threads in question.

See:

1. Limewire opening on Startup

2. How to get Limewire to quit Popping up every few seconds

3. Further to the latter post

* thousands of 851.7Kb Zip files containing "setup.exe" & also see Virus problem A, & also Virus problem B which seems to be the same virus!

* Other issue re: Viruses: MP3 zapping malware worms onto P2P network

4. Also see WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! for extra info about this topic & files to ignore & more solutions & help from Norbie.

5. The easy fix for Limewire popping up every few seconds (try this first) (This may or may not work for everyone but is worth trying 1st. After that go to Norbie's site or try suggestions in posts above.)
