Opens on its Own

[Ericc]

Ok I'm really starting to get annoyed! I am a big gamer and to play some of my online games I need all my system's resources I can get. Limewire though is starting up on its own. As soon as I re-exit it starts limewire up 5 seconds later. Anybody have the same problem or know how to fix it? Oh by the way it says enabline open information sharing.

It sounds like a virus. See point 4 in this thread
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=41432

These days you have to be extra careful of what you download, there's a lot of junk & malware around

The thread will explain some precautions to take!

[Ericc]

yah I know. Thought I was being careful enough but apparently not... oh well until I get through this I'll revert to Bearshare lol. Hope this third program listed after adaware and spybot works for me. Thx again.

I do not advise Bearshare. From previous experiences I have discovered once uninstalled, it still accesses your computer.

I too have this problem, I have uninstalled Limewire, and now a Javascript report starts up once every 3 minutes saying:

I use avast! on access scanner (to stop incoming virus' on the spot), and I have ran the avast! resident scanner time and time again. It did discover a couple of virus', but nothing that caused this problem.

That's just other people trying to connect from the outside,
and shows why BearShare is so effective at getting
connected in the first place. This normal and perfectly
harmless traffic tapers off quickly within days.
