Hello M4573RM1ND,

LIke you, I spent the better part of my day trying to rid myself of this "limewire.exe" worm or virus or whatever. I tried the info you quoted with no luck, downloaded BFU and tried that with no luck. I finally took some other advice on these pages and downloaded AVG's free trial antivirus from their website at AVG.com. Once installed and ran, it found many worms, viruses, Trojan horses, adware, etc that my updated norton AV did not. The annoying limewire still popped up after the scan was done and malware removed but AVG prompted me to restart and I am happy to say on restart the offending problem is gone. I did feel that my internet browsing was slower with AVG installed so I uninstalled it later in the day. On another note, I have not reinstalled Limewire and am unsure if I will again. let me know if that helps...

Best of luck
