Sounds like you have a virus. Click on the link below for more info. There are various fixes to try too
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

You could also try this fix, it's worked for some people
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...&postcount=141

If those fixes don't work, or you don't feel confident to try them, you can always go to Norbiesworld & get some free computer help.:wink:
If you go to the site, register & follow the directions for free computer help, Norbie will check things out for you.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all downloaded files before opening.

If you're completely sure you don't have a virus, ok.
Just that the LW constantly popping up is a symptom of a virus & so is a continual popup showing Java errors after uninstalling LW.

If your computer is infected, uninstalling LW won't do any good. The virus remains. You can uninstall LW but will still get errors popping up.
Please look at post #2 of this thread.

You really need to listen to what Birdy has advised you...You have a virus and running 2 AV's together is cause for disaster as they will clash and wont protect you at all....

Well you can ad-aware and Spybot as much as you like, but just to prove us wrong, try this fix. Then afterwards you can say hah I still got a problem (...or can you?) :wink:
