I dont know of this virus,but i do know that limewire has been kicking butt with me and my pc for sometime now.It has got to the stage where i have to run my anti virus all the time,in actual fact-everytime i finish using limewire,so i know something is going on.-heres my little problem--downloadware c:\programfiles\limewire\limewire.efile----------------and buddylinks/budd;c:\windows\b.exe I erradicate these 2 all the time,but now as i use lime wire, i do not have my own library--but i have a library of someone elses which would take me a week to delete,and its a mess,wouldnt mind if i could understand it ,it would be fun.But i cant.this is the second time i have gained this same library--i just close everything off for a couple of days,--then away we go again-clean start--dirty finish,you know-its not hurting my computer,but,its annoying.

IT ALREADY IS A PART OF MY DELL SYSTEM, BUT THEY DID NOT SUPPY A COPY OF THE DISK. THEY STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO AS THEY CAN USE THE SAME DISK AND PRODUCT ID # 3 TIMES AS PER THEIR CONTRACT WITH MICROSOFT. HOW CAN I FIX MY SOFTWARE WITHOUT A COPY??

Is there a problem with your capslock or do you think we're all deaf and can't hear you? Shouting will NOT get you help and if you dont protect yourself with a good AV you will be bound to get viruses. Then reformat it. This is why I STOPPED helping idiots.
