Default Unwanted files in my shared folder

When I restart my computer and go to LimeWire my shared folder is full of unwanted files and they all start with the same letter.

Plus the folders are all 400KB.

I delete them and more show up the next time I get on.

HELP PLEASE.

I have this same problem. It is quite annoying and also, i showed more than one was infected. although when running a seperate scan on several files i couldnt duplicate the info of files being infected with trojan. Last time I checked my folder I had over 250 of these unwanted files. i am anxiously awaiting others reply to your post.

I had the same problem, annoying isn't it.
What you need to do is to eliminate the source file causing this.
I found an unusaul file on my hard drive. It was titled TEMP, it too was a zip file with the exact same size of 400kb.
Do a general serach on your computer for it and eliminate it, it should also be accompanied by an x + y text file, delete these too.
At the same time delete ALL the files in your shared folder, i mean EVERYTHING!!! It only worked and dissapeared for me when i deleted all these files.

Then empty out your recycle bin.

This worked for me, not too sure if its the same for everyone else!
