Every time I turn on my computer, Limewire automatically starts up, and if I exit out of it, then it restarts. I checked the settings and the box was not checked for Limewire to start up when my windows starts up. So I uninstalled the program. Now I get this error and every time I close it, it pops up again:

sorry so long, can someone please help?
thanks

You probably have a worm.

Try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 here, it's worked for a lot of people.
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

If that doesn't help, there are links to help sites in point 5 of that thread.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan files that you've downloaded before you open them.
