LimeWire keeps starting up when i exit
 

Hello, Every time i Exit LimeWire 20 seconds later it starts up again and makes Internet Explorer go slow and my Online Game CS Lag.

If anyone knows how to fix Please tell me

I don't suppose you looked at the Stickies or searched your topic 1sst before posting. See 1. LimeWire continually Popping up every few seconds & also Opening at System Startup & 2. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! point #4

Yes i did try doing it the ways they described but none of them worked and i couldnt send a bug to bugs@limewire.com like my java said to but this is the bug report:

Your LW might have become corrupted. I'd recommend uninstalllling it. Go to Start menu>Programs>LW>Uninstall & after that, re-install. BUT, use the "OFFLINE" installer instead from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

WOrm?
 

u might have the "alcan worm". I got it once from downloading an exe file of lime wire. u can use a program like spybot to find out if you have it.

the worm will cause lime wire to try to always stay open.

If u do have the worm i would recommend sytem restore to get rid of it if u have windows XP.
