435435 2006-03-04 11:41:00 My friend has a problem where limewire opens again after every time he closes it. I got him to run a hijackthis scan, but I'm not too sure on interpreting it.

I got him to disable everything in the msconfig startup tab & that stopped it, but I want to properly get rid of it. I think the problems are virtua girl & winupdates.

435438 2006-07-24 21:50:00 I had the same problem, tried all the recommended fixes, but no good. Here's what did work: Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, removed entry named to effect of "888 Toolbar". Damn sure wish I'd written it down, sorry about that, but I'm sure about the "888". Next, ran System Restore and restored system to previous day. Problem gone. I'm no computer geek, and dunno which action fixed the problem, but if it's any help, I'm glad. I'd love to hear if this helps anyone! StrayGoose (9910)
435439 2006-07-24 22:22:00 Jeez Greven, it's a bit disappointing that you didn't post feedback. :(

I can't see the sense in using system restore after uninstalling an entry in Add/Remove as system restore would just put it back again. :confused:

No, it stayed gone . Best guess I can make at the reason is that this 888 widget struck TODAY, and I pushed the system back to yesterday . Does that make sense? Feel free to email me . I've rebooted to make sure it stayed gone, and it has . Also, Task Manager function returned to normal .

Jeez, it's nice to be a "Junior Member" of . . . . well, anything .
