@talik

several users have tried this fix and have it work. If it doesn't then no harm done. Are you sure you followed the instructions exactly. It is really important that you do.

@Finglonga

While I agree that Norton is a resource hog it is actually pretty good otherwise. It just sucks when it comes to this kind of worm. One of its key features is turning off essential processes for many popular AV programs. Also there are many variations of it so even if some get blocked others will pass through the defences

@sdornbur

You just uninstall Limewire and keep the worm, then I just wish you happy surfing with your disabled antivirus

Here is some info on some of the variants. This is old and the worm has very likely been updated since then.
