Problem

[EmpressPhoenix]

A big problem that I don't know where to start at. I was getting comes files from limewire, and while I was waiting for them to finish downloaded, I decided to go watch tv. I was gone anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. I came back to check on the status of my downloads, and my computer was off. NOW...before anyone comments PLEASE READ...
I know what my settings are at on my computer..And I have a labtop
My computer does not shut down after awhile
My computer does not hibernate
My computer does not go on standby
MY COMPUTER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM UNLESS I SHUT IT OFF.
No, there was no power outage, no..there was no power surge. NO..nobody in the house turned it off because I was the only one here. NO..it did not come unplugged accidently. NO, I DID NOT SHUT IT OFF AND FORGET I DID.
The only thing my computer is supposed to do when I leave is go to the screensaver after 15 minutes, and then go back to Logon/Welcome screen when disturbed.
I turned the computer back on, and signed onto my logon screen. About 5 minutes after I logged on and after everything loaded, LimeWire started to enable itself. I know what my limewire settings are, and it is NOT supposed to load upon windows startup. It is NOT supposed to load unless I click on it. NO..I did NOT click on it by accident.
I closed it, and it popped up again. Closed that, it popped up AGAIN. LimeWire has kept trying to enable itself. Finally I got sick and tired of it and went and uninstalled the damn thing, thinking that would help.
NO AVAIL.
I rebooted my system after doing thing..and when I signed back on, Limewire AGAIN even after being unistalled, tried to enable itself. But this time, a different window popped up after the usual 'LimeWire is enabling' screen. It was a java window with the following message (IN RED TEXT BELOW)
The java window said that if I keep having problems..to send that message to bugs@limewire.com. I did this..and have gotten no response back. Well, I am sick and tired of waiting..because the problem is CONSISTANT and really aggrivating. I went to send them another email earlier and recieved a Mailor Daemon status message..thing. Basically, the address I was emailing could not be found or did not exist. Someone PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE? How is it possible that my first email went through, and the rest don't?
I have tried to totally take every limewire file from my computer, and it does not help. It keeps saying that this so and so file and that so and so file are still in use..AND THEY'RE NOT ANYWHERE that I can find. I even tried to redowload and reinstall the whole program over. I can't do that because it said that an older version of limewire is still running, and to exit out of that before continuing..which I CAN'T DO.
Another really f*cked up thing about this, is I cannot..and I repeat
I C.A.N.N.O.T open my task mananger..at all PERIOD.
I've tried multiple times and it will not open. So..if ANYONE here has any idea just WTF is going on, I would really appreciate some help, since it seems you have to pay to get any help from the real guys, which I find is total BS but anyway. Someome PLEASE HELP!

You have a virus. See point 4 here
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

You need to go to Norbiesworld (there's a link within the above thread). Register at his site (it's free) & he will help you get rid of the virus. Please, always make sure that you use a good, up to date AV program & scan a file before you open it

[EmpressPhoenix]

HAHA Thanks. Though..unfortunatly I have a rent to own computer. It's all I can afford right now though YES I know it's way over priced anyway.
I was wondering if it was a virus or not.
Anyway, the computer came with Norton I believe, and I also believe it's only a trial version. Norton is SUPPOSED to scan those files before or as I open them but it doesn't for some stupid reason, though that's what I have it set too. I can't afford a real AV program though if I could I would. Anywho, thanks for the help!

[birdy]

There are good AV programs that are free! I think that thread in my last post gives links but if not, google AVG & AVAST... I use AVG & it's good (but you do have to manually scan a file after download).

Still... go & see Norbie. He's an expert & it won't cost you a cent to get your computer clean again
