Damn , PC infected, need help.

[Willdue]

I installed Limiwire for one thing, and ever since, my PC has been trying to open Limewire by itself, after I completley close it. So i un-installed it, now a scan shows this, any help?

LimeWire version 4.16.6
Java version 1.6.0_04 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 31410488/33357824

STARTUP ERROR!

[Raven18940]

I don't have any clue what you're saying is wrong. Format your computer and don't put Limewire on it, end of story.

[Renegade_]

is it starting this right at bootup?

Start -> Run -> msconfig -> Startup tab

And uncheck it.

wait... I want nutella on my computer... I ****ing love nutella...

oh, don't install limewire ever :) Its a complete waste anymore.

How did you uninstall it?

[Willdue]

I unistalled it threw remove/add programs. It keeps trying to start Limewire, and now since i unstalled it, I assume the Virus is trying to open limewire still.

[Scapegoat]

what virus?

go to start -> control panel -> add or remove programs

see if limewire is still in there

format c:\ -sys


Or, stop downloading porn.

Or, stop downloading porn.

Gets my vote.

[Willdue]

lmao. Its my studio PC, def no porn.


Welll I assume, that since limewire is constantly trying to open, so i assume thats a Virus? And Limeiwire is not tthere.

aight, did you do what I said?

if you did and limewire isn't in there...

start -> control panel -> administrative tools -> services

take a look on that list for limewire of gnutella and right-click on it , then click on properties and click on the drop down next to "start-up type" and select manual.

it just sounds like limewire is trying to start and not all of the files for it were removed. Also, run some antispyware anti-virus stuff...

Yes, and neither of them are in there. Im awaiting my GF;s brother to majically find my Norton Disc. Until then, annoying pop up grrrrr

[Scapegoat]

go check out AVG from grisoft. free... anti spyware and anti virus. I use it, I haven't had any issues with any of the porn ive downloaded or with limewire after I got rid of it

you can get it online, just google it

The error you posted up was a Java error.

Mainly because Limewire, is a Java based program, needs it to run, etc.

In uninstalling it something got fudged in either the uninstall of Limewire, or possibly a piece of Java got uninstalled with it.

Can always to good troubleshooting...

Seeing as how you UNinstalled it, and these errors appeared, REinstall it and see if they are still there.

Try again.

See if it comes back.

[Willdue]

I ddownloaded that AVG and it fixed it, thanks Goat!
