Maybe you got an Iffy version from somewhere

I have never heard of anything like that with Limewire

Don't know just speculating
I do remember when I first joined the forum all the warnings about scam websites, where people were paying over the odds for it

simple explanation d00d...a LOT of ppl are infected with virii and such, if for no other reason than because they are ill prepared for real life filesharing (i.e. they have no firewall and/or no active AV scanner)...

please note that even with a good wall and scanner running in the background you are still at risk..why?, because a virus/trojan/etc has to be detected by a company, then added to their list of things to block/delete...hence, there is definitely a 'window of opportunity' in which users are vulnerable to infection (been there, done that, been infected like most others...and yeah, I've had to reformat quite a few times, and in fact I as a rule reformat/reinstall 2x a year even when things are going smoothly)

now, would you pulease stop your pulish whining and go on with life?

I'll explain :)

You and all the other 47 PC's have made the mistake of downloading the wrong file(s). Thus getting infected by the worm YOU downloaded

Simple enough ???

The1hero why don't you just except that you have a virus. Grow up. And to prove you wrong reformatt and download from www.limewire.com then do that symbol again and it won't be there. Ill gaurantee it.

He got it from download.com, why, I was right then

must be an Iffy ver, I never download anything of that site
I don't trust anything on it anymore
you only ever goto the official websites for P2P programs, otherwise you will get hit with viruses

How do you know he got it from download.com?

Okay, I have to say.. I went adn tried this trick, of adding the \_\ to the end of the pathname to where my files downloaded. It brought up a hidden folder with, mind you - over 1700 viruses in it.. 1735 to be exact. I run the newest avg, as well as three other AV programs. So it isnt a worm, I think it's right through the limewire itself. I told a friend of mine and she has over 1400 in a hidden folder on hers too.
Thanx for listening
