Default pc highjacked

seems ive had my pc highjacked by something. i only found out when i turned limewire off and it restarted itself after a few mins. i found a folder in my windows/fonts dir thats hidden and contains 1,000's of files over 2.5 gig's . there all the same size and all contain a file called crack.exe.

folder is located at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\' .notice the ' in the path. for some reason this dosent show the folder in the font folder.

i think i got this from a crack i downloaded from LW ( i know "thick barstool"). as im on a 20 mb conn and left LW running over night.

just thought id leave a message and warn people about this.im still trying to clean up my pc as i type this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may have contracted a "Worm". Do you know what File you downloaded right before this happened. If so PM me. See the Links below.

Try this 1st.

Limewire Acting Wierd (PLEASE HELP!!!)

If no help then try here.

This is probably one of the best help Forums for Malware I've found. Just another suggestion.
