Background
ok...i had the same problem...task manager not opening, and lime wire wouldnt stay closed...but eventually after closing it everytime it opened, it would stay closed...but task manager would still not work...i read abit from everyones post and found it somewhat useful, because i myself am not a computer wiz...everyones posting about safe-mode run this run that, and it just confused me, im not saying that they were wrong, maybe what they are saying is right, i dunno i cant even understand them LoL..hence n3wb
What i did to solve my problem
ok..i turned off system restore but going to porperties on "My Computer" icon and used the System Restore tab..then i ran AVG anti-virus program.and it detected a virus call "Worm/vb.cc". and it also listed a list of infected files during the scan, so i manually deleted them. AVG did show me where the files were located and i followed the links and deleted them all...and these files were found in the random folders, like My Shared Folders,eMule depends on what folders you have on our computer. after AVG was done, i used the automantic healing process which popped up after the scanning was done. it restarted my computer and that was the end of it...
Results
LimeWire didnt open anymore automatically..and when i open LimeWire i closed it, and it stayed closed AND Task manager works W00t and everything seemed pretty normal...
