Hi - It appears I may have a similar problem as one a few posts down there - but I'm not sure -

After using Limewire tonight, I exited the program as usual. Now when I get on the internet - it automatically boots up - it doesn't connect - but it boots up. Exiting the program again will do no good as it will just be back in a minute or two.

I have it set to not startup at start-up. Nor do I keep it in my taskbar. Restarting my computer didn't make a difference and the only thing it seems I can do is to leave it minimized while surfing - something I prefer not to do.

Any solutions - or thoughts?
Thank you!

It's a virus. See point 4 here

Within that thread is a link to Norbiesworld. Go to his site & register (it's free) & he'll help you to get rid of the virus. You need to make sure that you've got a good, up to date AV program & that you scan files before opening them

Ugh iick!

Well this is disappointing. but thank you for the reply - I will follow through on this.
