Default I can't even get limewire to run!

So here's the problem, I downloaded a newer version of limewire one day. I tried to install the new version and it said corrupt download, download again. I tried that. Each time it keeps saying that. Then this little window pops up:



I don't know what to do. That error message pops up every time I start windows up. When I exit out of it, it pops up again. When I go to start limewire up, that message pops up. What do I need to do to be able to use limwire again. I tried using system retore, but it wouldn't go back to the time before limewire started having problems. Please Help Me!!

Before you got rid of your old version & downloaded the new one...was your old LW popping up all the time & refusing to stay closed (just like the popups are doing now)??

yes. It did that constantly and I couldn't find a way to stop it then either. My best friend that introduced me to limewire couldn't figure it out on my pc either.

You have a worm. Uninstalling LW's not going to fix it.
Try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 here...it's worked for heaps of people.

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