problem :/ (Limewire popping up all the time)

[Kjolmar]

It all started when I downloaded a corrupted song with Limewire. The entire program started to act really weird so I uninstalled and re-installed it but it was still the same. Then I just uninstalled it but now there is still a limewire-error window popping up every 2 seconds... It contains the following text:

LimeWire version 4.12.11

I followed those steps and it seems to be fixed now. Many thanks!!
About avg, it doesn't seem to download for some reason but oh well, I'm glad the worm is gone.

[wondering why]

That's good...
It might be your other AV stopping you from downloading AVG....

AVG is good but if your happy with the AV you have stick with that...
If you ever get the virus that turns all of your downloads to zip files, then you will need AVG as it's the only AV around that pick's it up and removes it for you...
