PROBLEM: the limewire virus corrupted my system so badly that it hangs / freezes every minute and it destroyed my firewall as well. volume control is disabled and internet access is forbidden..limewire keeps popping up and advertistments are getting on my nerves.

SOLUTION: My advice would be to uninstall limewire completely and delete any files with associations to limewire, then download trial files of ewido anti-spyware or etrust antivirus program and do a complete system scan. delete any files that are infected. i did that and i went to http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk and now everything's fixed! it feels so nice to see all the firewalls, updates and virus protection turned on at your security centre (: if you're experiencing the same problem, sign up at norbiesworld and go to "free computer help" =D

lime6, glad that you went to Norbie, he's good

I'd have to say that prevention is better than cure though... everybody should make sure that they have a good AV program (no excuse not to as there are very reliable free ones!), keep it updated and scan downloaded files before opening!!!!

all is quite fine right now however my computer still hangs / freezes at times. any suggestions??
