I am getting phantom files in my Limewire Shared folder and my virus checker thinks its a virus. If I delete the files, they just reappear after I reboot.
Help |

Probably its not a phantom file. Can you give me the virus name the AV gives you?

Explorer says there is 647 files ALL 31KB in size and the AV says their infected with the W32.Kwbot.worm

I've done a search, here is the description of your virus.
Actually it has backdoor capabilities, so take care: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...wbot.worm.html In case you don't care about that and only want to remove it, here are the removal instructions found on that page. In case you are not using Norton just do it with your AV. Quote:
And in future always check .exe / .com files before running them
