Firefox keeps opening
 
Hi
I'm new to limewire, I only have it for a day now but all the time I have the LimeWire minimized, my internet opens every two minutes and loads a stupid page. I am working on this computer and take this seriously, I am very angry and don't want to watch those dumb url's. Is there a way to stop this? Like in options? If not, how do I demolish LimeWire? Everytime I have it offline, it runs all by itself after five minutes :mad:

If your LW's opening by itself & popping up all the time it's probably due to a virus. See point 4 here
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

Within that thread is a link to Norbiesworld. If you go to his site & register (it's free), he'll be able to help you get rid of the virus. Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan a file before you open it;)

Thanks for your help, but I managed to tame the program with my firewall. It will block any outbound connection from those ports. The browser is finally back to normal.
