Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the windows w32.polip virus. Every second time I run limewire I seem to download this virus inadvertently (I only download .mp3 files from the LIME network). It then proceeds to stop my internet working and open a whole bunch of connections to toadface.bishopston.net. I have to shut down the internet, run a very virus programs then restart my system. This usually works, but does anyone else have a suggestion on how I can make my system less vulnerable to this virus?
I'm running AVG and Norton Antivirus. I'm firewalled. I've got wireless internet running at about 67kbps. Windows XP Sp2.
Thanks.

My suggestion would be not to run two AV's together as they may well make your computer more vulnerable...
I think you are not getting rid of the virus and it still lingers somewhere in your computer....
You should take a visit to one of these sites and post a HighJack this log and get the experts to give it a look, they will give you advice on how you should proceed...
