Default w32.polip virus

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.
