I've had limewire for a long time but recently ive had to uninstall it because whenever i exit it, it just starts agian even though i didn't start it? it just keeps coming up and up agian so if i just leave my comp on for a day there will be 15 limewire's running for no reason.... very wierd would be kool if someone could tell me how to fix.=/ also whenever i do i have limewire i have about 15,000 random files in my Uploads folder. Im guessing this is some spyware or something that i got somehow ='[ could anyone tell me what it is and how to get rid of it? =p

Yeah, I think you may have downloaded a virus through LimeWire. If you don't have a virus scanner and don't want to pay for one, go to AVG's Free Edition site of their Virus Program.
