I'm really grateful for your help. I have Norton 360 security on my computer, for which I paid nearly Euro 83 last November, sadly they wouldn't offer me any support re a potential virus unless I paid anothe Euro 99.99! Not to worry I think I've solved it with the help of another programme. Now I need to ask the following:_ I plan to re instal Limewire asap, and I know from past it will also instal my music that I already downloaded, is it possible that whatever virus I was infected with will be in my Limewire music already downloaded and I will start the problem all over again?
