heartscars is flying high
Default it has a mind of its own!

even if i already unchecked the startup option it would still startup and there's a folder in my library reading 0.0 kb and when i open it, tons of these files appear. im just worried since my laptop is only 20G. also when i exit limewire, it would open again on its own. its annoying!

Sounds like you have a virus. Click on the link below for more info. There are various fixes to try too
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

You could also try this fix, it's worked for some people

If those fixes don't work, or you don't feel confident to try them, you can always go to Norbiesworld & get some free computer help.:wink:
If you go to the site, register & follow the directions for free computer help, Norbie will check things out for you.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all downloaded files before opening.

If LW keeps opening by itself after shutting it down it generally means you have picked up a Virus and that 0.0 kb with all the files inside does not sound good...

Try this fix...

Many have had success with it, if you don't go to Norbiesworld, the link is at the bottom of this thread....
