another "help my limewire opens by itself" topic
 

Yea, I downloaded a set up file, my stupidity. I thought I fixed my problem by getting rid of Java, and Limewire completely (I did a complete system search for "lime" and deleted everything). I have my ctrl-alt del, so I think this is different then the usual, and there are no unusual tasks that I see.

There was also no viruses reported by McAfee.

So after getting rid of everything, I tried again, but went to an older version, and it worked!!! So I was good, and then I started my computer again and all of a sudden it pops up again. The other issue is I have no control over limewire preferences, the window pops up for a half a second and dissappears.

So I tried following some of the other guides on here, but nothing seems to be working and I'm lost. Help please? :confused:

For the problem with not being able to access options, download AVG Free AV. Update it & scan your computer. There's a link for download in the thread below.

If AVG doesn't also help with LW constantly restarting, have a look through the thread below...there are a few fixes from different posters;) If nothing helps, this thread has links to forums that offer specialised help with malware issues.

Yeah, that actually fixed it, I saw that that fixed the options not viewable in another topic and tried AVG and it worked, and that solved the other problem (So far I hope, lol). The trojan was actually located in the Windows Fonts folder. Thanks for the help, the problem was actually a lot simpler than I expected.
