doing a restore will not remove the virus.

I also have the unwanted and unknown downloads and it doesn't seem to affect my computer. of course my comp is almost 2 yrs old, so is slow by todays standards. what I guessed whats happening is that when u download someone elses file, all these other files are probably stored in the same place that the other user stored his zip file and it was automatically downloaded with the file you chose. I don't know...makes sence to me

I've only been with limewire less than 6 months and have only downloaded one virus (and boy was it a doozy!!!) and don't seem to be having any problems with comp now, other than being slower than usual (which I can live with )

Unless it's causing you problems, I wouldn't worry about it. As for taking up space on your comp, unless you are short on memory (or whatever it is), I wouldn't trip on it.

Also a lot of virus's downloaded, could be a false positive.
