It's a virus:(. Check out this thread (part 4.) WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

ps. Read the stickies.

I have something similar to that: When my computer starts, for some reason limewire will start right away. Is that a virus too? I have some virus products, I would think the virus would have been caught. I've checked the options how many times, but I don't see anything on having it start up once the computer starts up. What the heck do I do???? Thanks!

In limewire you can set it not to run on system startup. In LW go to Tools>Options>+Advanced>untick "Run on System Startup" then click apply.

It's only if LW restarts by itself after you shut it down that you might have that particular virus. There are other viruses out there.

agreed...it's a virus....AVG FREE ANTI-VIRUS will fix it but u must re-install limewire from the site

Well, things have been chaotic lately, my dad got sick of limewire constantly poping up and we unistalled it. Well, my dad then updated our virus protection (which was very out of date) and it turned out we had a whole slew of problems on our computer, so we probably did have problems do to viruses. I'll re-install and see how it goes.
