You Friend is wrong LimeWire does not give you a virus. But some of the files you downloaded may have viruses in them if you downloaded any files that were 851.7kb and opened them then you have a virus. It causes LimeWire to start up by itself every time you try to turn it off it restarts itself. If you have this virus or any other you can click on the link below it will take you to Norbie's website and he will help you get rid of it.

A little piece of advice never download anything off of P2P networks without having a up to date antivirus program you are just asking for a virus if you do. The link below is a link you should read and it has links in it to good free antivirus programs and spyware programs.
