Default Virus? Please Help

Hi I downloaded a supposed video file. Now that I've gotten this video file which I have since deleted, a bunch of porn RAR files keep popping up on my computer. It's under My Documents when I run my anti-virus program, but I can't find it under a Complete folder. There is more and more porn RARs being produced and it's using more of my hard drive space. My anti-virus program isn't pick it up and I can't find the individual files. Please please help. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Also Limewire keeps randomly automatically starting up. Trend PC-Cillin and Ad-Aware are the two AV scanners I'm using.

See WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! & you'll find links to others who have had the same issue & how they solved it. You'll also find other links to find help & general tips about how to avoid these things.

Here's some other tips:
1. Movie download issues (click on link)

2. Double-click the size column as soon as you search so the largest files appear on top. This will help stop confusion over files that are less than 1 MB for example: See Arrange search results by size (click on link)

3. Learn to use Bitzi to find out if there's any user feedback on the particular file if it's on Bitzi's database: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ...
