Hi.

I downloaded LW just like 2 weeks ago, and so far I have been very selective about what to download.

Lately, my computer has turn slow, limeware keeps on turning on just a few seconds after I turn it off. limeware is always downloading something and I dont see where those downloads go to.... In the "share" folder i have only 32 files but in the indicator of the shared files there are 168 and increasing.

The fan of the laptop never stops!!!!

Panda antivirus does not detect anything, BUT I just noticed Panda CANT update since Im having this problem.

In the task manager, only a few process run the CPU at low (3 or 2) and only one process called INACTIVE PROCESS make it up to 99.

Im not that smart at computer, please HELP! what is this??
virus? or just something normal at limeware??


Im new here, but right now Im going to take a look to the forum for help, but if you read this thread and have answers please help me. I will appreciate it a lot!

You have a virus. See WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

It sounds like you caught a virus, I would suggest that you go to an online virus checker, like Symantec (there are others), and have your PC virus checked.

I have had something similar happen to me, something was downloaded to my PC (nothing to do with LW) that disabled my Norton AV and PF 2003 apps. It took me about 8 hours to correct this nonsense.

Hopefully, you could have your problem sorted in an hour or so.



Hope this helps
