Thanks. Limewire keeps opening up it's annoying

I have what appears to be this same virus on my computer but I have a problem. When I get to the step after I have opened the task manager (with the desktop shortcut) I have no processes named winupdates or anything like that. I have a process called kpf4ss.exe that is hogging like 11 K but thats it. I dont know what all of the processes running are (I know a lot of them) but nothing appears to be using anything even close to 100 percent. I have a process called winlogon.exe but it has always been there. You mentioned that not all users will have this 100 percent problem. What do I do if I dont know which process to end?

Thanks alot

I have that exact same problem. The virus is called Worm.win32.VB or something like that. There are many pages with descriptions, but none that tell how to get rid of it.

I uninstall it after I download what I want. It NEVER FAILS to ***** up my computer. Limewire developers WHERE ARE YOU and why arent you FIXING this on-going problem??

The worm just died... I didn't do anything. That's weird

What??????

Have a very close look at "all" the links here: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! as some of them have something you don't know about yet. Stay away from files below 2 MB is size. Don't get confused between MB & KB. As soon as you do a search, double-click the top of the size coumn of the search results & the largest files will be listed at the top.

Hi all.

I followed step by step the instructions just starting this thread.

Everything is great. My computer is not slow anymore, LM is not poping up, Performance at Task Manager is ok.... even the fan is not runing all the time

The only one thing I need to ask is this: There is still a process that makes CPU usage almost up to 100%, and its name is "Proceso inactivo del sistema", Im using winXP in spanish, so it might be SYSTEM INACTIVE PROCESS or something like that..... Is that one normal??

At a begining it seemed to me that this process just took the place of winupdates, but the good behave of my computer makes me to think this is normal.



Other history part 1: Thanks to those who are helping us to get rid of this problems.

Other history part 2: To those who have not been helped yet... be patient. This is not easy

Yes thats your "system idle process" and that shows how much is not being used, and thats where it should be if your not running any programs. It looks like your good to go:).

In the future be careful what you d/l.

yesssssssss....

that's so good to know!!!

:D
