Angry Items that won't delete/reappear

OK, this seems to be quite a common problem and several posts have been made on the matter and all seem to be viewed quite a few times.

I have a slightly different version of the problem: files that delete but reappear at the next startup of my computer.

I have Norton Anti-Virus and have done several scans without positive results. I also have used SpyBot but nothing new has appeared.

I have also begun to notice that whenever I do a search, a file of that name appears and it is always an exe. This happens even if the file I look for is 'wigglyquerdo'! It seems clear someone or something is targeting my computer/searches.

I guess in the past I have done searches and, not being careful, thought I have found what I am looking for and started downloading an exe.

Can someone (preferably from LimeWire!) suggest what to do?

Can I also suggest that LimeWire highlight exe or other such files in RED so that people can be very cautious of downloading them?
