Exclamation Tons Unwanted Porn Material

Hi folks,

I've got exactly the same problem. since I installed Limewire, it just keeps openning at startup, even when I shut it down, it just starts again after a couple of minutes. Also the windows task manager doesn't work anymore, regedit as well, seems limewire made all necessary adjustments to keep it self safe!! I wonder if I can uninstall it.

And on top of that, it created the

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Complete

folder, which contains around 4GB of zip files all the same size. and funny enough, they are all named after some weird porn.

Any idea how to solve that? I have deleted the folder a couple of times, but the biggest pain is that I can not shut the bloody thing down.

PLEEEEEEAAASSSSEEEE advise!!!

Thanx
Lukas

You have a virus! See here:WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!, part 4(a) would be a good place to start.

Here's another thread to check out:Limewire Acting Wierd (PLEASE HELP!!!)

and here: THERE"S SOMETHING that SHOULD not be there

Good luck.

Hello mate,

thanx for the suggestions they helped me to get rid of the bloody virus. I will post a reply to the manual how to get rid of it because my one wasnt winupdates, but winlogi.exe.

Just so everyone knows - open your taskmanager and if there's a winlogi.exe process, u have a virus folks. (or if you cant open the taskmanager )

cheers!
Lukas
