Sounds like you have a worm

Try this fix, it's worked for a lot of people.
The easy fix for Limewire popping up every few seconds (try this first)

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan files that you've downloaded before you open them.

kind of havin problems doin that
it wont let me right click and save target as
its grayed out so that isnt an option


yep you were right
i believe it was a worm

i think i know where it came from as well
i was looking for a video converter on limewire and i ignored the virus pop up cause i was sure my anti virus would catch it

but for some reason it wasnt running so it was able to get through
just scanned and caught a worm
not pop ups since

You'll find that heaps of program files are infected...make sure that the file size looks ok & check the file with Bitzi before download. If other users have rated the file, you'll get some idea of content & quality. You can also download Bitzi's Bitcollider & rate files yourself More info here.
