I am having the same problem, I exit out of lime wire and it keeps reconnecting, i even tried going through the process of one of the email threads for deleting windows updates which is suppose to be a virus. But i can't find that anywhere, i have uninstalled limewire, and it still connects and shows up on my desktop like it's still there. yet in control panel and remove programs it's not even available. somebody please help this has really become a pain. it won't even let me use the program. As i stated i uninstalled and reinstalled, i uninstalled and didn't reinstall no matter what i do same problem any help would be appreciated.
