thanks Limewire for dropping this virus into my computer.

warning: Norton Antivirus will not block this virus.
(they will however, remove it for an additional $99 charge).

anyone have a better solution?

I've used SuperAntiSpyware when my computer was being attacked by multiple viruses at a time. It killed everything and saved my computer.

Just go to SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware! and download it. It's much better than Spybot.

Infected files are shared throughout the gnutella network. It's not LW's fault. LW is just a client that allows you to connect to the network & download files from other computers (peer to peer).

Check out these links for info about files to avoid. There are also links to alternative AV programs.
