Limewire starting up of it's own accord?
 
I installed Limewire on my computer, but it's taken to starting itself up at completely random times. Run on System Start-up is disabled in Tools >> Options >> Advanced. I have looked around all the options and found nothing that could be relevant. When I closet he application down, it automatically starts itself back up after so many seconds. I find this really bizarre.
My spyware scans find nothing. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Anyone know a way around it?

Many thanks.

and see point 4 here

Within that second thread is a lot of advice & info about virus problems. Also a link to norbiesworld. If you go to his site & register, he will help you to get rid of the virus. Make sure that you have a good AV program & keep it updated. Scan a file before you open it;)
