Download spybot http://www.filehippo.com/download_sp...earch_destroy/
update and do a full scan, delete anything it finds.

Then what anti virus you running?

Little tip if you use limewire, only download mp3's, nothing else as most of the films/programmes will be a virus, also a good way of telling is the fact the file size doesnt match what your downloading, i.e if your trying to download a film and the file size is the same as a picture, somethings not right get it

My son has been using limewire to download mp3s and the amount of virus's Norton has found because of it is ridiculous. suffice to say I uninstalled it for him.

Free!!, stop being a tight git and get KASPERSKY, awsome best I have ever used and cheap, only £60 a year to do 3 compys, or £30 a year for one, assuming all on net.
