I am getting the same thing but was not able to follow your directions. Here is what is going on with my system (P4 1.2, 700+ MB memory, win XP fully updated).

As you said Task mang. would not run with the normal key strokes.

I could not find system32 in the win dir, it wasn't there. I did a search for taskmrg.exe and found it and put it on my desktop.

I ran it and found cpu usage to be at most 11%.

I looked for winupdates.exe and did not see it.

I was able to uninstall LW and of course it no longet starts every few sec. or when I open some programs ......but I get a java error message telling me it can't start so it's still there just the program is not there to run.

Have you any help for me to get rid of the POS?

Thanks,

Steve

Go to program files, Press L untill you get to Limewire and just delete the folder. Thats how I fixed it for myself.

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

Default Limewire exits during downloads

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.
