Benyo14,
You really should take LOTR's advice & go see Norbie

Even if you are convinced that it's not a virus (bet it is), he will be able to help you to fix whatever is stuffing up your computer. We don't send people to Norbie for personal gain... all his help's free. It's rather because he knows what he's doing & sees these problems every day.

I am getting the same thing but was not able to follow your directions. Here is what is going on with my system (P4 1.2, 700+ MB memory, win XP fully updated).

As you said Task mang. would not run with the normal key strokes.

I could not find system32 in the win dir, it wasn't there. I did a search for taskmrg.exe and found it and put it on my desktop.

I ran it and found cpu usage to be at most 11%.

I looked for winupdates.exe and did not see it.

I was able to uninstall LW and of course it no longet starts every few sec. or when I open some programs ......but I get a java error message telling me it can't start so it's still there just the program is not there to run.

Have you any help for me to get rid of the POS?

Thanks,

Steve

Lord of the Rings,

Thanks for the advice but for most of us this is not a config. issue.

Thanks, I'll go there.

O.k. I followed all the steps given for deleting the bug (my file name was winupdates as well). Thanks so much for posting the instructions on deleting the stupid virus! Saved my computer! But i'm still having a little problem because there is one file in my registry editor that will not delete. The file name is just (Default) it is a REG_SZ file type and it says the data value is not set. When i hit delete it says unable to delete all specified values. Any ideas?? Thanks

all of my friends have downloaded limewire and always said how they never had problems with it so i downloaded it...what a mistake. but after following these step's i removed anything that looked suspicious and now im a happy man!

what happens when you uninstall limewire, but a notice keeps popping up that says copy report at the bottom. it has a bunch of descriptive errors and such in the document. i shut it all down and when i came on today, i tried to open up Word, and it froze. word has been doing that ever since i got limewire. what the heck is happening?
this is what the message looks like:

I believe this virus is a little file that you can download by mistake that is around 800 kb in size. I was searching for things and i downloaded a file of that size. There were like 50 of them, all the same exact size with different file names. I downloaded one thinking it was legitimate but it just had a short movie of a girl dancing in front of her webcam. Then all of a sudden all this stuff occured. I'm assuming this movie and the virus are connected. By the way, NONE of the file names everyone listed here are in my task manager's process tab. I only got to page 6 so far though so maybe I'm mistaken, but I know its the same virus because I had the same exact problem as the topic creator.
