So I figured this was my problem, and when I followed the directions to remove this virus, it wasn't there. The odd thing is, I AM able to access task manager, but I still don't know why my limewire keeps restarting itself. So maybe I'm thinking this is a new virus with similar symptoms? Any suggestions?  | winupdates.exe "ALIAS" W32/Alcra-B. I found a couple of links that could possibly help you:- Check this link )(w32.Alcra.B worm)
also this (W32/Alcra-B disinfection instructions)
if you are unsure or dont understand these instructions I suggest you register (free) with one of the malware forums such as (BleepingComputers) (Geeks to go) (Tech Support Guy Forums) they have experts who deal with viruses, worms and all the rest of the nasties on a daily basis.
