I don't want to scare you, but if my computer would do such strange things, my first bet would be a virus.......programs are not supposed to act like this, unless they are told to do so; either by configuration or by some nasty controlling it.

Check your system using any of these programs (I reckon using all of them):
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/(free)

http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG)

http://www.ewido.com(free trial which can still be used and updated after the period has ended -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you can't get rid of it go here and get some free computer help:

I just got told that it is not necessarily a virus.

This could also be hardware related. Could be graphic card driver problems, heatsink not good enough, or fan not strong enough, or bad ram chip, etc.

That might not be the case this time, but could be ...

1. Try this Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

2. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Doing these might stop LW stressing your computer that causes this to happen.

3. Go to Norbie's world & he has a general computer problems section. There is probably an out of date driver or something that is only triggered by LW when it runs. http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/Forums/c=6.html

So steps 1, 2, 3, & 5 here Fixes for Limewire

If that doesn't fix it then get the system checked by the expert at NorbiesWorld (click on link)
