constant shutting down and restarting
 

I've been use limewire for 6 months and recently it started shutting down in the middle of downloads and restarting. It also starts in general every two minutes after I disconnect. I don't have it set on auto start. Does anyone have any info that can help me?

This sounds like a virus. The part about it shutting down while downloading , I don't know it could be something else, but I would be more concerned about a virus.
Here's some threads to check out:
