The files that i DIDN"T download are in Complete, i can't find that folder at where it suppose to be, so i stop share it every time. but it keeps coming back.Limewireprob.jpg

Anything that is 851.7k is a virus from limewire. That virus is on almost all searches you do now. Unfortantly limewire doesn't controll what's on their servers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you scanned with your virus scanner? If you don't have one AVG is a good one. Google for the link.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I am not mistaken a virus can't be run in a .zip folder. Limewire makes a folder called "incomplete" to put unfinished files or files you have cancelled. If their not complete they should be in there. If you try to delete them just off the list in there, there just gone form that list :) .

Run your anti virus in safe mode ASAP!

 

 

 

Then post a HJT log.

The files shown are 'copies' of the virus installer automatically created to get other people to download from the infected user. The virus actually running on this guys computer is buried much deeper than just a limewire folder. :roll:

What do you expect if you use peer to peer programs such as limewire.

 

 

 

Sorry you aren't going to get any help here on with limewire.
