1) Uninstall Limewire. You can reinstall it at the end of these steps.

2) Disable System Restore in Windows. This can be done by right
clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties, and then clicking on
the System Restore tab. Then check the box Turn Off System Restore.
Hit Apply, and then OK. If you are prompted to restart Windows, do so.

3) go to c:\windows\system32, select the file taskmgr.exe, and run
it. (The "Virus" has disabled ctrl+alt+del)

4) Click on the Performance tab. If you are in fact infected with a
virus, you will likely (although not necessarily) see close to 100%
CPU usage!! Now click on the Processes tab, followed by clicking twice
on the CPU column header. If there is a process, other than System
Idle Process, that is consuming close to 100% of the CPU, then it is
this process (or file) that is infecting your computer. For me, and
likely for a lot of you, that file will be winupdates.exe. Don't be
tricked. This is not a Microsoft program. It's a virus masking itself
as a legitimate file. Please remember the exact name of this process,
because you will need it in a later step.

5) Click on this process to highlight it, then click the button End
Process. A warning prompt should pop up. Click on Yes.

6) Now that this process is killed, we need to remove any references
to it from the Registry. Once again, because this virus is blocking us
from opening the Registry Editor, we need to trick the virus. you will
need the following opened ( just copy to windows explorer address bar,
and hit enter.

c:\windows\regedit.exe
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

7) Regedit: In the left window, click on My Computer so that it is
highlighted. Now select Edit from the menu, followed by Find. In the
Find box, type the name of the process that you ended from the Task
Manager . If you recall, mine was winupdates. Do not include the .exe,
just winupdates. Then click Find.

8) For the item that it found in the right window, ( just the
hilighted one)right click on it, and select Delete. If a prompt pops
up, select Yes or OK to confirm the delete.

9) Now, hit the F3 button once. This will find the next reference to
that bad file. Follow step 8 again to delete the reference. Repeat
steps 9 and 8 until the editor indicates that there are no more
references to this file. Then exit the editor.

10) Command Prompt /*(which looks like DOS)*/ (duh, this was copied
off the internet)). Type the following commands in order, and hit
Enter after each line:

cd c:\
cd program files
rd /s /q winupdates

11) Now restart your computer. Reinstall Limewire.

This should hopefully fix your problem.
