delete all cookies, and temporary internet files. after that go to www.trendmicro.com and go under free tools and it'll do a scan of your computer to catch all of that. if it doesn't work try restoring it to an earlier point before limewire. then get ares.

Running Limewire itself isn't the problem.  It's the software you download from Limewire that is.  So, you should always run a virus scanner that actively scans everything you download and actively scans apps when you run them.  If you don't have a virus scanner, I recommend you go get AVG Free Edition and install it.\n\nAVG Free is located at:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/24/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nYou'll probably also want to get a spyware scanner:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com\n\nWindows Firewall os OK, but if you want a more comprehensive free firewall, get Sygate:\nhttp://www.sygate.com

Go on the control panel and click add and remove programs. Then click on Limewire and it would ask you to remove, click yes.

use ARES, it may not have as many things to download but it seems to have a whole lot less viruses.  Limewire is infested with Trojan Viruses.

That sounds like you're unwillingly running a peer-to-peer program on your computer.  Hopefully you're a willing participant in that, otherwise you're computer is not as controlled as you should want.  What you need to do is remove the program from your computer if you aren't useing Limewire or anything like that.  Also, make sure it's not something like a family member or roommate, because sometimes it's really that simple.

I don't know from experience so don't quote me but...Limewire is supposed to be very good but when ppl download it there is an option not to download spyware with it & most ppl don't notice, maybe this is what you have done, try uninstalling it, restore your pc to a date before you downloaded limewire if you can remember when that was, then re install it without the spyware. If that doesn't work you can always reverse the restore operation & your pc will be the same as before.You have nothing to lose.

No don't use Limewire unless you want a million viruses on your computer. Just go to YouTube or YahooMusic.

Yeah, if you're using Limewire, there's a good chance you've got a virus or some other form of malicious programs on your computer.\n\nDownload a good anti-virus program and do a full scan of your system.\n\nAfter that, go download Firefox (sourced) and use that instead of Internet Explorer. It's a web browser just like Internet Explorer, only it's MUCH safer to use. Internet Explorer has MANY security holes that make your computer very vulnerable to virus attacks. Firefox doesn't have these security holes, making it MUCH safer to use than Explorer.

Limewire is bad news..full stop...as pc technicians we remove it daily from folks pc's...spyware infections from this program almost always means your windows will become so corrupted that a format of the HDD is the only resort. Stay away from all shareware programs,crack websites etc to avoid spyware

Limewire has adware in it. Most likely limewire is the reason that your computer is acting the way it is.
