Murdoc is flying high
Default LW reopens itself!?

I restarted my comp and LW pops up, no problem, i know where to turn off the "LW startup with windows startup" option. I shut it down because I didnt want it consuming any of my bandwidth atm. I did get the "please wait while LW shuts down" message, but about a minute later its starts itself back up again!? Shut it down again, and guess what, back up again. Done this about 5 times now, so i came here. I tried searching the forum for the answer, but what do i search for? tried "automatic startup" but its not just when windows starts, also tried "automatic restart" or whatever still nothing. Anyone else get something like this? Any help is appreciated, ty

It's a virus that does that, not LW. Update your antivirus definitions and do a system scan.

Bonne chance

well then, dont i look like a moron, yes it was a virus, TYVM
apparently I completely forgot to even install an antivirus program during my last reinstall, about 2 weeks ago. some 309 infected files. appears to be fixed now. at least now its on the forums if someone else turns out to be as dumb as i am

Edit: not sure if this is even the correct category for this issue, maybe it should be moved, i dunno, thanks again
