Yesterday Limewire seems to have taken control of my PC ! I shut LimeWire down and a few minutes later it restarts automatically. I cannot even get my computer to open the task manager to shut it down. I also checked my startup configuration and took it out of the startup files. I running Windows 2000. What do I need to do ? If this continues I am going to un-install LW

Sounds like you have a common gnutella virus. You can check the stickies to find a way to fix it yourself, else, go to Norbie's site & register & follow his instructions carefully; NorbiesWorld (click on link). Norbie is an expert & will help you fix things.

Thanks , I tried suggestion but I must be using a different operating system. Neither was I getting a lot of CPU usage once I uninstalled LW. Maybe Norbie will come in there and help me.
