The notorious LimeWire Problem...
 
Well it started a couple of days ago when after i closed LimeWire it popped up again not five seconds later. So i closed it and the same thing happened. This repeated about four times when i got so fed up i just un-installed the program. So thinking that the problem was over i re-installed it and the problem persisted. So i un-installed it again. Then i started getting a little pop up window from Java saying that files were missing from limewire or something and to go the lime wire support thing or whatever. I didnt do that. So today today tried deleting all LimeWire related files and it wouldnt let me. Then i again tried to reinstall the program. This time when i was installing it it said that LimeWire couldnt be installed becuase the program was still running. So i tried to open up the task manager to end any lime wire processes, but the problem is that Task Manager wouldnt open. I tried opening up TM any way i could and still nothing. So i did some research and found this site. I did and ewido scan but the results were waaaaayy too long to put on here, but what should i be looking for to delete?

i fixed it. all i did was scan with ewido micro and removed everything that showed up. i did that twice and now Task Manager works, my CPU usage is waaay down, and my comp seems to be running alot smoother.

oh yeah my computer is working alot better now because i downloaded Windows Defender from the microsoft site, AVG Free AntiVirus, and the trial for Zone Labs Security, but i just downloaded a key from limewire so now i have full ver. but that combination is really doing my computer good. its much better than norton, all that ever did was slow my comp down.
