Unhappy Limewire will not shut down

I have installed the newest limewire 4.16 yesterday. Since then when I try to close the program, minutes later it has loaded again. No matter how many times I exit the program it starts up on its own.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with the same results. I used both links to download the program and I do not get an error message or a failed to install message.

The only solution I have found is not to install the program again (but would like to).

What post mine probley Any way you have a worm Called "Alcra" This is the reason your limewire keeps poping open its a real pain.The way to get rid of it is to use AVG Anti virus.And this is fact not many other Anti Virus can see it in your system.So here is a download of AVG if you have not got it yet.
AVG Anti-Spyware - Reviews and free AVG Anti-Spyware downloads at Download.com
This is a free Program and do's not have a time limit like others.

Hope This helps.

Thanks! The BFU program did not work for me and I ran it twice! I eventually had to restore my computer and delete limewire all together. I have not re-installed it as I am leary that I will just have to uninstall it again - and go through this mess again!!!

I will download the anti-spyware and try that. Although I do have McAfee and ran a full system scan - would this program not have "caught" the worm?
