And also...when the files become .exe, are they all the same size?
Does a new folder appear in your LW library (maybe with no name)? If there is a new folder, does it contain anything?

mostly all mp3's i also have DL a few zip files a couple pc games. All the files i DL turn into program files (all 408 kb), and yes it did create a folder that had a bunch of different files in it, i was unable to delete the folder but i deleted all it's contents. i have uninstalled and reinstalled limewire 3 or 4 times made sure all files were off my computer and it still repeats the same thing. they all stay in my audio folder until i shut the system off then upon restart all my files are converted and moved. the folder it created has a bunch of zip files 212.6 kb in it, about 550 different files alot of it all adult entertainment. i appreciate the help. thanks

Deffinatley doesn't sound good, now we have to determine if it was because of the game file or just an MP3...It's very dangerous to download games and programs through p2p as they are usually always infected...

Just a thought you didn't by chance download that stupid urgent limewire update did you (the one that always shows up in your search results)

You definatley would have a virus and/or nasty spyware on your computer now...I'd suggest you go to one of these sites and post a Highjack this log and get your system cleaned up....

I had the exact same problem after I (stupidly) downloaded a movie file. It's caused by a worm (Delf.ATB). Download AVG, do a scan, and you should be fine.

I don't know how many AV programs are picking this up. I know Norton doesn't, but that's not saying much.

skellybones could you let us know what file extension and size the movie was...What happened to your files after AVG cleaned up the worm, did they turn back to normal ??
Thanks for your time....

The original movie file I attempted to download was .avi, 500-something mb. The file was corrupted, so I got a compressed .zip file instead, 212.6 kb. I wound up uninstalling LW and deleting my entire library before getting AVG, so I don't know if the songs go back to mp3s. But it's been a couple days since then and all my new downloads are working.
