I can access the options in Limewire, I cannot open the task manager. This may sound weird but, can you tell me how to open c:\windows\fonts\'? What application shall I use??

Did you try the fixes in the threads I linked to in post #2 (BFU, system restore, scan with AVG, vundofix)? Even if you can access options, those fixes might still help with LW popping up. There's another fix in the 'viruses you should be aware of' thread.

If nothing's helping then you should go to one of the help sites, which are listed in the first link in post #2. Those places deal with malware issues every day...they're specialists.

If you can't open C:\Windows\fonts, I've got no idea which app to use...it opens for me when I double click on it

I fixed my computer!!

Solution:

I went to AVG Free Advisor - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition and downloaded their free trial software, ran it about 4 times on the full scan and had it delete every problem it found. Then I re-installed LimeWire and everything is working like a champ now.

No more secret c:\windows\fonts\' folder. LimeWire stays closed when I close it. I can access the options window now.

Lesson learned... antivirus software alone is not enough. I thought I was covered. I guess not!
