Question unwanted downloads...virus?

I am not the most computer savy person so please bare with me. While using Limewire, I have noticed that files that I did not select to download will appear in the downloading window and will ultimately be saved in my shared folder. Also, when leaving Limewire unattended, the same thing occurs. I previously left a post and read about a worm program that might have been the cause. Because of this, and some adware and slow boot, I restored my system. I then downloaded Limeware again and the problem was gone for a while. However, after downloading some additional files, the problem started again.

Could I have downloaded another worm/virus/trojan horse? Is this how a virus works or am I just off my rocker? This is concerning as many of these files are porn files that I do not want on my system. I am the only user of the computer, so it is not my kid...that much I at least know...Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alaska
