Hi, i accidentaly downloaded a dodgy .exe file the other day (duh!) and now i have a hidden folder in my downloads which i only knew was there because it was listed in the Limewire library. Opening it up from there, i found it contained 276 applications that were all 228kb. i did delete them and also deleted the folder that this folder was in but as soon as i started downloading into another folder, it appeared again. As far as i know, there's been no negative effects on my computer but it's obviously not friendly. I've ran Ad-aware, spybot and AVG anti virus but none of them picked it up. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what it is or has any ideas on how to permanently delete it. thanks.
