Limwire Downloads 100's of programs automaticly & cant stop.
 
In my shared folder, for 3 times now, I have about 100 to 200 programs that have downloaded themselves automaticly. I dont know where they are coming from but they are coming in alphabetical order. -First it was A-B. Then B-C. Now its on F. I delete them everytime but they keep downloading...

Got to think this is killing my bandwith.

How do I stop this?

Thanks Tyson

LW will not downld what's not on its downld list. So make sure they're not listed there.

Sounds like you may have some type of virus. That's the problem with downlding pirate software. I hope you have a good antivirus with up to date definitions, & also wise to have these which are free:
