LimeWire:Opening on it's own and cant access "Options"

Hello Everyone

I have a slight problem here with my Limewire and hope somebody may know how to help me. The programs keeps on opening on it's own, no matter how frequently I shut it down, it will re-open a few seconds later of it's own accord. I've tried visiting the "Options" but I cant access them; as soon as I clic the selection I only see the ghost of a window before it completly disappears... I've tried to disinstal and reinstal the program, but it doesnt help, the problem is persistant.

Jas anyone encountered this problem before? Does anyone know how I can resolve the problem?

Thanks for your input!

 

:wave and welcome to MG's. the problem with things like limewire is that you dont know what other nasties you are downloading apart from what you want.

i would pay a visit to the MALWARE FORUM

go through the steps here

read & run me first

and post the results of the scans in there.

better safe than sorry i think. good luck.

 

Yep- some antivirus programs will detect Limeware as possible spyware or a Trojan because of Limewire's constant attempts to access the internet without being asked. As stated above, the malware forum is a good start. You can also try removing it from your start up list. Click Start > Run and type msconfig and click OK. Click the Start Up tab and scroll thru the list and disable any Limewire references. Be sure to save the changes, and when you exit you'll be asked if you want to restart now or later, that's up to you....
