Sorry if this has been posted before, or is a common topic but I searched for a while and didn't find an answer so here it is:


In the past few days, Limewire has been uncontrolablly downloading compressed files into my shared folder by itself. They're randomly titled and come in waves of about 300. Each time a delete a group of these unwanted self-downloaded files, they will appear again in a few minutes. I tried deleting limewire and reinstalling it, and even disconnected my internet, but they still appear.


Other information:

While I have limewire downloaded, each time I close it it starts itself back up automatically immediately. After I delete limewire, it tries to open back up, displaying the Limewire 4.12 thing it always does when it starts up, but then it displayes a message saying some error that's "usually caused by a corrupt file" and recommends "reinstalling limewire".

Also during the reinstallation, I get two different eroor messages. One says to close out limewire, becuase I have it running in the system tray. I don't, and I couldn't because it's supposed to be deleted. Another appears later saying that there was an error detecting the file "Limewire.exe." Both of these messages have the options, "Abort", "retry", and "ignore". Ignoring it just installs limewire and the same problem presists.

And suggestions are appreciated.
