For crying out loud!

Everything was working fine, then all of a sudden limewire started acting dodgey. Everytime I shut the stupid *** thing down it magically restarted again, I mean each time I shut it down it would suddenly pop up and start up again, am I repeating myself? Anyway, it was so annoying I thought balls to it and decided to uninstall it. Well, heres where things got worse, my pc slowed right down and a box kept popping saying something about limewire unstallation problems reinstall and then telling me to email this..

and that I should copy this and forwarded it to bugs@limewire.com

and does this address exist? NOPE!

Well, by this point I was really getting pissed off! So I reinstalled the new version, the error box dosnt pop up anymore but the first problem still proceeds to annoy. I can not close down limewire!

Can anyone help me with this frustrating problem?

See 1. LimeWire continually Popping up & also Opening at System Startup (click on link)

& also 2. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link)

My advice is to get Norbie to sort it out for you. He is an expert! Just follow his instructions carefully! NorbiesWorld (click on link)

Yay,

all is well now no more annoying limewire pop up crap. Thankyou kindly for your help it was most helpfull..
