im having the same problem but i dont have a program called winupdates.exe on my task manager... and i dont have that CPU thing youhave to press on 2 times. i have a program call winlog.exe but i dont think thats the same thing i need help immediatley

my limewire keeps opening itself up also but i don't seem to have a virus as far as i can see is there anyone who might know why this is happening and what i can do to stop it from opening itself thanks for any help you can offer

Double check that you don't have LW set to run on system startup (tools > options > advanced > system startup. Untick 'run on system startup' & apply). Just because you can't see a virus, doesn't mean that it's not there.
Please see point 4 in the thread below
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

My install of limewire is exiting whenever I click on any file and try to download it, this is really starting to annoy me so I am currently doing a virus scan with Mcafee that was provided by comcast, my isp. Does anyone have any idea what needs to be done to stop this? First some darn annoying program started upon login to my account and now this crap. The program was called wmedia.exe and I found it running in my task manager, ended it then deleted the files associated with it.

nice man i get that prob to were my ctrl alt del ent workin this dude knows more than just to send u links to nobbies world lol

Hmm. Ain't really getting this post. When Birdy answered you she also included the link to the exact post you are praising here.

so heres whats goin on.
I uninstalled LW.
Then went threw all the steps on the first page and couldnt find ANYTHING!!
no winupdates anywhere, only the onw thing using recorses.
so...
My jre was saying soemthing wierd (don't know what exactly) about limewire.
I tryed to reinstall limewire and it said an older version was running so i went to task manager and saw it runing...
I still cant alt + ctrl + del.
how do i fix it??

thanks

Heya Ive had the problem before, but I didnt even realize that alt ctrl del wasent working!! And CMD and everything else, I fixed it THANKYOU!

Ive noticed that my limewire seemed to mess up before aswell.. but i have also noticed a file which had the description Limewire Swarmed Installer... since i have deleted this file my Limewire has been fine... perhaps you should start looking for something like this... i found it at the very bottom of my C Drive. this could solve some problems..

I cant find the file winupdates in the task manager.

I deleted the file limewire from the task manager and i deleted it from the registry, it does not open anymore, i also deleted it from my computer, all files, i still cant get task manager when i hit ctrl,alt,del.

i have it on the desktop, if i want to open it, but how do i get it to work from the keyboard?


isnt this like rewriting microsoft windows?


who did this, the music industry?
