    hi there! sorry there were a few threads similar to this but none of them really helped.

    limewire keeps on opening up by itself and ctrl alt del doesnt work...

    :)

    i dont know what sun java is

    i've uninstalled any programs on add/remove programs

    ive deleted all quarantined files from norton

    norton recycle bin and my recycle bin are empty

    i downloaded and ran CCleaner but before it fixed anything, it asked me to purchase it =/

    what should i do now? do i have to purchase it before i can continue posting? thanks!!!!

    Hello tokenasian :)

    Are you having any poblems related to a malware infection, or are you just having trouble with limewire issues right now? The reason I ask you this is because, if it is #1 a malware infection I will try and help you remove any problems on your computer, but if it is #2 limewire issues then I will not help you, because in my opinion the only solution to those kind of programs, like limewire is a complete uninstall of it. That I will glady help you with :)

    I"m going to go ahead and assume that this was only related to limewire then and unsubscribe from this topic now.

    hi rip chain =)

    im actually quite worried now... i have followed each of those steps in the Malware removal guide very carefully [its taken 7 hours =P] but there have been errors all over the place with each of those programs that i ran from the WINDOWS XP CLEANING PROCEDURE.

    when i ran combofix.exe, i got this error

    when i ran SpyBot - Search & Destroy, i got this error
    http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg248/irvindelara/error4.jpg

    ...then it continued and these were the results

    ...2 problems werent fixed apparantly so i've set it ro run again on startup. ill do that in a sec and post the results [again]

    when i ran AVG Anti-Spyware, it took around 4hours to scan everything but no report was generated afterwards
