Hello

For the past few weeks, Limewire randomly starts up on my computer. It can be running fine and suddenly it'l start opening up. I've checked my settings for it and I dont see anything that would cause it to start like this. Any ideas?

Even more mystifying is that over the last 2 weeks or so, if my computer is inactive for a fairly short period of time, I think 10 mins or maybe even less, it'll go back to the XP login screen. Thankfully from that screen it doesnt take that long to get back in, but the 30 secs or whatever it does take, all told, is quite annoying. I hate watching a movie and suddenly seeing it quit to that and having to just wait there all this time.

Any advice?

Thanks
Daanish

I have been told, that P2P issues are not dealt with on geeks ...

[dsenette]

p2p issues are not...but what you describe sounds like a malware infection to me..and we don't turn away malware...we won't help you fix limewire if it's broken...but we can help you get your PC cleaned up

[b1caez01]

I guess I'll reinstall LimeWire then
