Oh dear not good....You have a virus.. The only AV that I know of to get rid of this virus is AVG, it is free...So if you aren't running that AV the best thing to do is disable the one you have and download AVG, scan your computer, get rid of the virus and then you can unistall AVG and make your normal AV active again...

AVG download.....AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free

Get someone in your family to disable Norton for you, then download AVG antivirus (that's what AV means) it's the link I gave you above and update it once it's downloaded and run a full system scan...Then let AVG do it's job and do what it requests you to do with the virus...

I see you've got yourself into trouble again, oh well.

I think the best thing for you to do, after you have got you PC clean again, is to stay away from LW for a while, start reading through this forum and see what problems other users are facing and how those problems are solved. Once you understand what's out there you can then use LW cautiously.

Bear in mind that LW is primarily a Peer to Peer application, not a downloading application, it enabled you to connect to other LW users PCs from all over the world. And as you are now finding out, not all PC users are "good" people.

If you want to download music I would suggest that you stick with sites like Amazon.com and similar sites.

Good Luck


UK Bob
