Hey Tejas,

If your LW's popping up all the time & refusing to stay closed (not just opening the once, when you start up), you probably have a worm. Has task manager stopped working? If that sounds like the prob, try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 in this thread.
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

That BFU fix has worked for heaps of people

Hi Tejas.

Do it Birdy's way first, Then Get the AVG Free version, The blue link that Goku gave you, Its much better than most
of the AntiVirus Programs, especially using P2P
It has a fix for your problem already.
Peace.
