Sounds like you have a virus. Click on the link below for more info. There are various fixes to try too
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

You could also try this fix, it's worked for some people

If those fixes don't work, or you don't feel confident to try them, you can always go to Norbiesworld & get some free computer help.:wink:
If you go to the site, register & follow the directions for free computer help, Norbie will check things out for you.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all downloaded files before opening.

actualy i am compleatly shure idon't have a virus cus normaly viruses use an amount of cpu and apper on th tsk mnger or are removed from the files i get from my anti virus stuff + i have 2 virus scaning programs on my coputer that i sandwitch together and i update them every day so my computer kills any virus befor it can cause any damage at all my friend had fixed it 1ce but he uninstaled it after fixing it and he don't remember when he did

If you're completely sure you don't have a virus, ok.
Just that the LW constantly popping up is a symptom of a virus & so is a continual popup showing Java errors after uninstalling LW.

i am having problems ever since i opened up a corrupted file from limewire..limewire will start up automatically and wont stop no matter how many times i exit from it..also its messing up my computer a bit as well...i tried to uninstall it but it says the installer i am trying to use is corrupted or incomplete...and i might need to contact the owner for a new copy...why cant i just delete it and start again???? what do i do now?

If your computer is infected, uninstalling LW won't do any good. The virus remains. You can uninstall LW but will still get errors popping up.
Please look at post #2 of this thread.

You really need to listen to what Birdy has advised you...You have a virus and running 2 AV's together is cause for disaster as they will clash and wont protect you at all....
