Something is wrong with my computer and I don't know what it is. Everytime I try to start into Internet explorer it opens up, but then after a short period, its gotta be less then 5 seconds, and then it just closes automatically. Then when I try to start into limewire it always shows the green limewire thingy when it starts and then it quits. What do I do to help stop this problem, it started today. Thanks!

Hi.
1. Download & install Windows Defender immediately. It will check your system for any known bugs or viruses.

2. Uninstall IE. Remove all temporary files too.
3. Reinstall IE.

Try restarting your computer into Safe-Mode. Do this by restarting your computer, then pressing the F8 key non-stop till you get a menu. If you can boot with networking enabled, do so. If the program doesnt persist it may be a virus or bit of malicious code that is causing this.

You probably have a virus/malware/spyware on your computer, run some anti-virus programs. I've been hearing that Limewire has a lot of viruses on it.

I would first restart your computer...if the problem still occurs I would suggest getting some anti-virus programs or begin running a scan for Norton Anti-virus which is normally already on your computer. Good luck = )!

It may be a virus. Try scanning your computer with an anti-virus system such as Norton or Webroot Spy Sweeper.

you probably got a virus from limewire...there's a lot of them on there...get either norton or mcafee virus protection, and scan your PC...it should remove the virus...if not, you may have to completely reformat your computer...
