Just for verification the virus is totally gone go to Norbies site. NorbiesWorld (click on link) Some of these viruses will leave a file in the startup items which needs to be removed.

I'm not sure how it works, but I suspect you've initially downlded a virus ... & that either multiplies or sends out messages for others to downld without your knowledge.

hey. well i tried the mcafee free scan and it found the virus but then i didnt know how to delete it or whatever. yesterday my laptop had Trend Micro pc-cillin anti virus. so i scanned with that after using mcafee's free scan and it could not find it. so i downloaded a 90 day trial of norton's antivirus. it found the virus, quaruntined it and everythings running great now.

except for now when i go to open limewire to download more music this morning it says that my firewall wont allow it to access the internet and to grant it access and it will work...but i dont get any verification messages to grant it access or not.. and i have my windows firewall shut off completely and it's been like this sence i got my computer. i checked the anti-virus and i have limited coverage on most things but the main icon says i have complete coverage so i shut off auto protect and it still wouldnt allow Lw to access the internet and open



does anyone have a clue on how to fix this....I NEED MUSIC lol


thanks for the help im glad i got rid of that virus..well i think i got rid of it because LW stopped opening up and giving me random files after i got this anti-virus

ill check out that norbies site just to make sure its gone but ive scanned my computer 3 times today just to know for sure and no virus's or anything came up


thanks again

alex

There it is explained how to configure your firewall. Just do not run two firewalls at the same time. Choose one and stay with it.
