Hey, I tried downloading a fie the other night and now limewire is doing its own thing so i'm pretty sure its a virus. Limewire kept restarting even when limewire was already running. I've looked through the forum and saw other people have had a similar problem so I've followed some of those steps but doesnt seem to fix the problem. I went through the task manager looking for a process using a lot of the CPU usage and theres nothing, except for idle.
I;ve deleted limewire and it still tries to start by showing the limewire logo but then going to a prompt box saying
"One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generall caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing limewire again. If the problem persists, please copy and paste the message below and sent it to: bugs@limewire.com Thank you.
