@ aznsaiyan029,

As michwayne suggests it's probably a virus. Try the fix in this thread(Try it first): To fix the limewire keeps popping up / no taskmanager bug do the following

More virus info in this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

You can also try downloading AVG(free), update it, and scan your computer: AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free. We've had luck with it cleaning some other viruses.

Any program files(exe, zip, ect) on any p2p program are notorious for being infected with viruses. Make sure you scan them before opening. Also check the file size, if it's less then 1,000 kbs or 1 mb it's probably a virus.

There's more info in this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!
