The links below will take you to a couple of very good free AV programs highly rated by the experts. I have found AVG to be better than Avast but both are very good.

The virus I believe you got can hide in allot of places on your computer. Go to the link below and post a Hijack This log there Norbie will be able to tell you if you have gotten rid of it. Just follow the instructions on the web page.

The reason they called you stupid is because of your refusal to believe that LimeWire did not give you the virus. Yo got the virus from DL and opening files that contained a virus or you already had it. Like I said before literally millions of people use LimeWire and do not get a virus from it. Do you really think LimeWire would be the most popular P2P software out there if it was a virus and was causing problems with peoples computers.

You put way too much faith in your friend who doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground if he thought LimeWire was a virus or caused a virus. The link below will help educate you about viruses on the network I would suggest you read it.

In the future you should probably do a Little research before making post and then defending them. Your post is what made you look stupid. When I told you it wasn't LimeWire that caused the virus you probably should have done a little research on the Internet instead of blindly believing your friend. That also made you look stupid or gullible hopefully you have learned something from this if you have then you are not stupid. If you haven't then you are stupid.
