I run Limewire PRO on my Windows XP Homeedition system and a couple of days ago I went to open it up and it wouldn't open, so I went to the Shared folder, where Limewire drops my downloaded files and as I hovered over it, it closed down windows explorer with the 'windows has failed......would you like to send an error report'.
I imediatly thought this must be a virus so I ran Norton Anti Virus and it stalled at the same shared file that was causing the problems with windows explorer and then came up with the error, would you like to send report stuff. Then I tried adaware to see if it would pick it up and the same thing happened with that, hence Xoftspy also did the same thing.
I have run System Defrags and been into safe mode to see if i can delete it from there, my firewall has picked up nothing and web based virus scanners have done the same thing as Norton and Xoftspy did. I would appreciate any help, I don't know much about computers but I think it may have been something downloaded off of Limewire PRO that contained a virus.
