LimeWire wont stay closed?
 

Ok so i have had LimeWire for some time now and recently when i exit it it closes like usual but thena few minutes later it reopens itself again. :confused: Anyone know why it does this? What can i do to make it stop?

Hmmm... it sounds like you may have a virus. You should do a virus scan on your computer.:)

Hi, you have probably without realising downloaded and open a program that has a single "setup.exe", mine was called "a" made by XTC.
I found this in c:/documents and settings/"myname" folder (the name that the folder is called, in most cases your name)
I tried to delete but was told it couldn't be deleted, even though the icon never returned, but still limewire continued to open.

Next I downloaded a programme called "tuneup" and used the "tuneup start up manager", from here deselected a programme called "setup.exe" and this fixed the problem without causing other programmes not to work.

I recommend if you do this you only deselect one at a time, and then reselect it if it does not fix the problem.

Just to add to the above post, the Setup.exe programme in Tuneup Start up Manager was listed as an installer programme with an unknown rating. I wouldn't deselect any Setup.exe's that are related to known good programmes on your system.
