    memory?

    umm, there is such a virus that eats up your empty space. I once had it, i used up about 5gbs of my 40gb drive, all the sudden, i have 100mb left...

    backup and reformat, the best way to kill this pest..

    How much stuff did you download off Limewire, you probably got a Virus from that, if you did get one.

    no, it has a bunch of viruses on it I suppose.
    I barely use it but Idc if I do use it..I know how to avoid some viruses and my systems secure enough to deal with them.

    Not sure abt the virus thingy as well as the sercurity, but it slows my PC down so much that i get rid of it after using for 10 min.
    About the virus, probably you should get Kaspersky and boot in safe mode, then scan with it + spybot S&D, then it MIGHT be alrite :D

    Spybot may not catch the virus, tho... you need an anti-VIRUS program.

    but still, just backup everything and reformat, problem solved...

    limewire gives me no issues, it is far from a virus, though what you download from it might be another story, but that is the same for any p2p...
