    about every 20 seconds limewire pops up after i shut it down. i went to options put it so it shuts down automatically and does not run when i turn on my computer but it still does. its never done this before.

    i dont know if this has to do with it but about a week ago this message popped up asking if i wanted to upgrade limewire to limewire 4.12.6. i said know but when i shut down limewire it did it anyway.

    someone please help

    - i did some research and found out i have a worm called "Alcra", which causes limewire to open itself. does anyone know how to get rid of it

    If it's a worm, then why ask this in here, and not in the anti virus/anti spyware forums ?
