How do you remove a virus that makes your computer restart every time you run LimeWire and other file sharing programs but cannot be detected in virus scans?

Answer 1

try reinstalling Limewire or any of the other files it uses...also, most file sharing programs are p2p, which sometimes when someone tries to get information from you, the computer will shut down because it sees the person trying to access the file as a potential threat, so (dont blame me if your computer starts getting viruses, adware, or spyware for this) if youre using a firewall, set it so it always lets the program through and have access to all non-critical files.

another answer-- i came across something that someone can do to you're computer that an make it automatically restart when you press something i don't remember how it was done but it was done. the only way to stop it is to find the person who did it and ask them to remove it or find the file you're self
