There is only one problem with your quick fix. If LimeWire is still trying to start by itself after you run spy sweeper you still have the virus. The only thing you are doing by renaming the file is stooping it from opening limewire but the virus is still there. I recommend you go to the link below and get some help from Norbie. Register on his site and post a Hijack This log and let Norbie have a look at it. He will tell you if you still have the virus or not.

Actually with one form of a trojan that causes this that's not true, or atleast wasn't in my case, this trojan known as surfsidekick. Even after being manually removed from the registry etc. it has edited into windows somewhere (where I don't know) to cause LimeWire.exe to re-open itself. After I removed this trojan from my pc all the problems stopped, I could use cmd.exe once again etc. But LimeWire still continually opened. Thus I resorted to this quick fix. As of now there is nothing running in the background that is abnormal and my cpu usage is at a steady 0-3% with no spikes whatsoever. This may not be the case for winupdates, but for surfsidekick it is. But I appreciate the assistance and will look into Norbie just in case, can never be too safe anyhow. Thanks.
