Hi all, I've had the same problem for a couple of weeks and it has been driving me crazy. I followed everyones directions but nothing would work, tried numerous anti virus programs and still nothing.

It wasnt until I noticed some strange folders that appeared on a couple of scans which i didnt reckonise, i couldnt find them even with hidden folders and files shown. I found 2 folders that contained 1000's of .zip folders that all contained virus's and where named after films and games. I found these in the below directories;

C:\Documents and Settings\James\Complete
C:\Uploads

I believe LW is picking these folders up and displaying them on searches. They all had a file called MOVIE, which is this stupid virus/worm

Both the above folders contained these .zip virus folders. I had to manually type the above in either DOS or in the address bar in Windows.

Once I deleted these folders I repeated the steps everyone suggested and found that I had a few virus/worms on my comp, there are

winupdate.
winupdates.
MsUpdate.
ms-update.

Once these where removed the problem stopped (well so far, fingers crossed)

Hope this helps any other fustrated users.

James
