Hey guys. I believe I must have downloaded some sort of virus hidden in an mp3 file. Using limewire I have been downloading music for a long time. Recently I found my computer being very slow. Investigating I found out that my 'C:/My Shared Folder' where I download music to, and 'C:/My documents and settings/end user/complete are full of hundreds of .zip files I havent downloaded them, most of them claiming porn or free programs. Neither norton anti or ad-aware are picking anything up. I can't even access my shared folder any more, if I attempt to look in it, it freezes. any and all suggestions appreciated.

your infected. jump into safe mode and get deleting. Run HTJ and Ad-aware. Plus, limewire is no good so delete that as well and use WinMx instead or mIRC when "sharing" your files. gdlk

thanks, that helps for now. but whenever I reboot there they are again. I've tried ad-aware. what is HTJ? thanks.

HTJ is advanced program to analyse system processes and registry. Full name is HijackThis. here is the tutorial to hijackthis
