i'm wondering if now it's limewire or the trojan i had.
 
alright, so i followed the instructions about the limewire restarting after shut down, & the options not popping up,
neither windows defender or norton found the trojan so i used the kaspersky & it deleted all the trojans,
& when the trojan was there, the only folder that would pop up under shared files was a folder with the apostrophe (')
so after the trojan was deleted, i thought about uninstalling LimeWire & installing it again, just to start fresh,
i went to uninstall it from the uninstaller that comes with LimeWire & the computer couldn't find it when i clicked on it.
so, i went to the uninstaller that's in Vista, & it said that LimeWire had already been uninstall & just took the name off the list, but i was still able to click on LimeWire & it load just fine.
so i just re-installed limewire without really uninstalling it,
& it started just fine,
so i went to configure my options & my shared folder,
& when i clicked on the shared folder that i normally use, the (') folder came up, & it freezes.

so.
i want to know, is the trojan really gone, & it's just my computer,
or is it LimeWire?

another problem.
 
okay. thanks. i finally got it off, & i was able to remove the (') folder from sharing,
but i've never been able to see the folder, where it says that it's located, even when i used search, i still couldn't find it.
i tried unhiding hidden folders, but it still wasn't there.

is there anyway to find out if it's still there, & how to delete it?

Trojans and viruses are tricky rotten things...
They cause a lot of people a lot of unnecessary heartache.
Sometimes I wish them (the virus writers) all to BillyO and hope something equally as troubling happens to them.
If they put their time into something productive we'd all be a lot better off.
