Those files are virus. The general recommendation is to stay away from all files less than 2 MB (2,000 KB) in size. Almost all small files are virus or other spam. I would recommend registering at Norbie's site & follow his directions & he will help get rid of those files & get your computer back to normal; NorbiesWorld (click on link)

just done that mate installed hijackthis and waitin for someones reply.thanks for the reply and i hopefully i can resolve the issue!

Norbie is on UK time ... shouldn't be too long for a reply with luck. Yes he has dealt with identical situations.

Go To www.ewido.com For Anti-Spy Sofware And/Or Go To www.grisoft.com For Anti-Virus Software. I Also Have Limewire But I Have No Problems With This Adware. Also You Can Try www.yahoo.com For Their Anti-Spy Program
Or Microsoft Windows Defender (Beta 2). They Are All For FREE.

LimeWire is not Adware!!! If you have an anti-adware program that thinks LW has adware, then it's not so good is it now!

iv just dloaded that ewido and its found shedloads of infected files so will that help fix limewire?? cheers for you help

Thanks. Hey, www.ewido.com, www.grisoft.com Are The Same Company,
Except One,s For Anti-Spy And The Other One Is For Anti-Virus And They Work Great. Also Try Windows Defender (Beta 2). It,s A Great Help.
P.S. Try To Run Complete System Scans Every Day On Both Software,s, They Usually Both Run For About An Hour Or So, But It,s Worth It.
Just Be Patience.

Just don't use pest patrol! It says p2p programs are bad. And it tells you to delete stuff that isn't even on your computer. That is what I call lazy developers that can't even make a decent program.
