To begin with LimeWire did not cause the problem, you did by downloading a file with the virus in it. Most of these viruses are found in software searches and file sizes of 900kb or less. And there is very few programs out there that small. Most are 10MB to 800MB when you do a search and see a bunch of files the same size with different names common since should tell a person there is something wrong here. Like maybe it is a virus. Any way go to link below you will have to register there they will help you get rid of the virus. And the next time you are on a P2P network make sure your anti virus is running and use a little common since when you choose the files you are downloading. If you are not sure about a file do a bitz look up on it before you click on download. http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/ |

yea for Grandpa, do as he suggests. I still think you should defrag your hard drive though and reboot because Im not understanding why you cant delete the leftover limewire folders. I use the Anti Vir Free edition and it works wonders for me. stay away from pirated software. seriously. those will all be infected oneway or another. |

Get the AntiVir XP free edition. Its really powerful and good. It will totally scan your hard drive in maybe 20 minutes or so and it will delete the infected file. Its saved my hard drive a number of times from the web hijackings. |

its an excellect program, just remember to allow it to update so that way you can use it when in Limewire. Keep it turned on in your system tray and you should be fine. let it do a couple of more passes to be on the safe side. Once you clean your system, try rebooting again and see if you can delete the leftover limewire folders. |
