LimewWire Will Not stop comming up
 

During the day limewire comes up every once and a while and is very annoying. Then, overnight, between 5-10 more of the program open in the task bar. Can somebody help me resolve this problem so I have control over what is going on with my computer??

Sounds like a virus ... LW popping up all the time is a typical gnutella virus. I'd recommend registering at Norbie's site & follow his directions: NorbiesWorld (click on link)

Also keep in mind this: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link)

A virus that has been around since I can remember lol. It is annoying as hell and a real ***** to get rid of trust me lol. It also uses 99% of your CPU, look in task manager there will be a task called winupdates that is using it all, a quick fix is just to end that task, but to get rid of the virus, get ready for a few hours of fixing lol.

Norbie will direct you safely & timely.

that error has come up a few times during the initial boot. (error:winupdates) ill try and get it. thanks

I had one called "outlook.exe" and it was doing the same poop. I ran norton av2005 and found and destroyed it like an alien in halo 2 LOL
