Default I close it, it loads up

I simply want to close my Limewire, I do just that and within a few seconds it starts to load up again. Any suggestions?

Default No fix worked yet

I've spent the last two days trying to get rid of this same virus. Most of the fixes are from mid last year, and did not help. I just spent hours on the BFU/Alcra PLUS remover fix and it didn't work. LimeWire is now removed, but I'm getting a java message every two minutes saying that the install must have been corrupted. I guess it's looking to launch LimeWire still. Does anyone have a recent fix to this virus?
Thanks!

Which anti viruses have you tried? If you tried a few and it's still not gone, go for help at the Spyware Warrior Forums

OK, it appears that Kaspersky AV has detected it, so I'm letting it run. I'll let you know if this all works!
Thanks

This is probably one of the best help Forums for Malware I've found. Just another suggestion.

Malware Removal - MajorGeeks Support Forums

Thanks Remoc,
MajorGeeks was where I found a cure.
The virus software Counter Spy was the one that finally caught my problem. Oddly, I scan every download from LimeWire with AVG, but this one got under the wire I guess.
Thanks again for the help everyone
