plz help me limewire automatically creates file called complete
 
hi there
when i start up limewire and i go to my library
there's the file i intend to share and a file that
is autmatically created called 'complete'.
i have checked my computer and there is no file called 'complete'.
'complete' contains around 50 zip files each named differently but all containing an installation icon.
now firstly i do not want limewire to create this file.
wat can i do?

I've read about it on the forum before. The virus replicates itself in a folder called complete and the number of files your sharing balloons to hundreds or thousands and those files are shared which keeps the virus spreading through the network.
Are the files all the same size and all the same type but with different names?

It sounds like a virus. Here's some examples of similar posts:
