Limewire wont stop opening!!
 

Hi everyone.. yesterday my daughter opened an exe file that must have had a virus in it.. My Lime wire wont stop trying to open.. My Windows Task Manger is working fine and over all my computer seems to be working ok.. Here is what I have tried so far..

• Used 2 different virus scans (AVG and Mcafee) both found no problems.
• I ran my spysweeper.
• I ran my Reg Mechanic
• Microsoft Malicious software remover. No problems found
• I also tried the fix that is recomended elsewhere in this forum using Brute Force uninstaller but everytime I do it gets to 98%, then stops responding.
• I tried to do a system restore but it wont let me. I get an incomplete mesage no matter what date I choose.
• I Looked at my HiJack this log and didnt really see anything different then I usually do..

I did all this in Safe Mode, I had uninstalled Limewire during this time. I re installed Lime wire and its still doing the same thing.. I have once again uninstalled it till I can figure out something. Any help would be greattly appricated.. I am worried this Virus/worm my be doing more damage..

Thanks

Do you have any idea what file she d/loaded(file size at least)?

Update
 

OK, well I found the problem.. It was a Trojan Horse called Generic 9! There was about 7 files infected.. I updated my AVG and this time it found them.. I quarantined them and now everything is working better. I reinstalled LW and its now operating correctly. Also I noticed that one of the infected files was in my restore directory so I assume that is why I couldn't restore my computer.. I have restarted my computer several time now and everything seems to be still working so I hope I have removed it all.. I assume I should copy my Hijack This log and summit it to those who know but I am not sure where to do that at.. As mentioned elsewhere at this forum, beware of small files!! Thanks..

Genric 9 Trojans Are nasty little Bugs Make sure you got them all they will eat your ram up if you dont.

Hope its all gone..
 

That's good some people have a hard time getting rid of them.

So I read..
 

Limewire Popping Up
 

I have been using limewire for about 3 years now. I have never had any problems until about a week ago. Heres the problem...

Limewire works perfect while its running. Even before I start it everything works fine. As soon as i close limwire it starts running (BY ITSELF). It Re-Runs limwire all over again. No matter how many times i close it it just opens again. The only thing that can stop it from opening is uninstalling it.

Can anyone help me with this?
please contact me via email

Edit Personal Email

It a virus if you have AVG anti virus Do a full scan on your pc that is the only way to stop lw from re-opening.But if you dont have a avg i will give you link for it.

lucky for me none of the other problems are happening like the taskbar and registry edit not opening up.

LW is running fine now..
 

My limewire kept trying to run itself...so I uninstalled it. Great, right? NO. Its still trying. I just downloaded AVG and am going to run it...but AOL has also started. Hopefully it isn't too late.

Good god it just found over 540 errors...

yeah I got AVG and I kept uninstalling/reinstalling to get it to work since for some reason it wouldn't let me buy it :\ it just stopped working after doing it about 10x though.

I will try that now though
