Ok, so my daughter caught a slough of malware through a kids game site!!!!--SICK F**KERS, anyway...now i have the limewire bug that keeps popping up (so does Hello, the pic program, though not as much), and I did all i could to get task manager to run from my desktop, but I think this thing has outsmarted that manuver... any help greatly appreciated!!!!!

My only question is what if you don't have any files that have the name, "Winupdate(s)" in it. The only one near that file name that I found was swupdtr.exe. Thanks to the list of how to get the virus off that was prepared by kc0rkx_finch
, I was able to stop limewire from poping up all the time, and remove all of the zip files that messed up my system. But I still cannot access my Task manager using ctrl+alt+del. Also when I go into my Registry Editior, there are some files that it won't let me delete. I still get a Virus warning from my anti-virus software when I boot up as well though, (AVG-FREE edition). Does anyone have any more ideas that could help me, I will be very much appreciative. Thanks!

Thanks for the warning, but I was also a little bit unsure of it being gone, until I ran a couple of virus scans, a couple of adware/spyware scans, followed the directions 4 times and couldn't find the said file (from one of my previous posts) after the first deletion of it, and 1 or 2 restarts of my computer I was pretty sure. The fact that limewire doesn't open and close on its own now is my proof enough. Thank you again for your warning, it is good to see that there is some good people out there.

Im not sure I want to do this. My dad just restored everything on my computer once again without losing it. Everytime i make a different option (on those get rid of the bug instructions) my computer has this popup saying stuff like "are you sure you want to do this? it can make your computer inopperable.": and such.. i dont wanna cause more trouble than this damn computer is already in. .. ill ask my dad to do it.. but PLEASE let me know these instructions have been confermed by the limewire... people and such.

I looked at your other post and that is the only way I have any clue of what you are talking about. You should stick to your original thread if you want help figuring things out. It can become very confusing if you don't.

You can go to Norbies World and he will help you to see if you still have the virus the link below will take you there.

Ok I had a friend telling me about this. And gave me the topic to this. He said the virus has to be activated and I havent activated it yet.

Ok first off do I need to delete it before I activate in. Second off can I delete it without activating it. Because it's not poping up. Only when I click On limewire. I don't have xp of a task manager.

How can I get rid of it if I have Windows ME.

If you are talking about a file you have downloaded but havent opend yet then yes just delete it. If you delete it without opening it you will be fine.
