Since i have used Limewire i have had endless problems with my computer when i Download. Each time i click the on any download ,a picture of Stephen Hawkins appears on my screen for around 3 seconds then dissapears. When i Turn my computer off or on, MR T's voice comes on and says "I aint getting on no Damn Plane" ok it scared the hell out of me the first time and was a little funny, but now i just cant stop it. When ever i Minimumise a program MMM BOP (You know that annoying song by Hanson) plays. When i say it plays i mean it plays the whole damn song. I find myself turning the speakers off just to avoid this! My wallpaper also Changes randomly, Yesterday it was a Big Afro man, Today its Gary Coleman and last week it was the Elephant man! My Screen saver also Changes randomly that keeps alternating between Ghandi and Adolf Hitler.
Please could someone help me?

haha. get NOD32. scan. get zone alarm. scan. get spyware doctor. scan.
those shud save your computer pretty easily.Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"0 -

But seriously I'd get rid of limewire asap the thing is a waste of space and all it does is fill your comp with crap.0 -
