Howz It SparkyChick,
Sorry to here about your problem. First may I ask, the Trojan you downloaded,was it Trojan-Downloader.WMA.Wimad.n ? This Trojan behaves by
1. A browser page opens to a certain webpage ( fastmp3player.com )
2. fastmp3player.com tries to download and execute (when the user hits run on IE ) a malware from the mentioned site.......
You describe a different behaver in that the file won't open and you can't delete it ya.
If you Google the Trojans name or go to free antivirus/anitspyware you should find some helpful information.... I not sure if your out of the woods yet.Trojans often make changes in your registry and or delete cretin files.If this has happened the damage needs to be fixed...Just to Delete the Trojan will not do that.
When you are downloading a MP3 you should be able to preview it ya.I myself would not trust a file that didn't preview...That fact you stopped the download you should be OK.I would check your Incomplete folder and see if there's any sign of it there.If there is delete it.I understand your running a scan know if nothing shows up you should be fine.
REMEMBER, you should always scan all files you download with Limewire before you open them.
Please let me know the name of the Trojan you downloaded for my own information.
