LimeWire Won't Shutdown
 

I'm new to LimeWire, and the forums as well. I run Windows XP, have DSL, and use McAfee as my firewall. Anyways, to my problem: Every time I shut down LimeWire, it automatically starts back up again. It slows down my computer a lot, I've got to learn how to shut it down for good when I'm done downloading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, have a look at the stickies about viruses, from what I've read on this forum I think you might have a virus, scan with your AV to be sure and check out the stickies, also you could type in LW wont close in the search option, there will be info there.....

Hope this helps....;)

There's 2 possible reasons I can think of that happening. A: Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Shutdown & make sure it's set to shutdown immediately. B: If that's not the reason then see 1. LimeWire continually Popping up every few seconds & also Opening at System Startup, & also
2. LimeWire popping up - how to eradicate it, & also 3. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! & don't be shy to see the last point about Norbie's site for help!

Ouch I must be slow typing. wondering why is exactly on the mark! These points are all sitting in the sticky threads waiting for you. If you viewed them 1st then you wouldn't need to post! ;)
