Virus through limewire?

Question

have a file downloaded from limewire as music file, downloaded titled as 'hot college chick is...', uses 44,649 KB. I cannot delete, move, sure delete, or force delete this file. What the h**l is it?

Answer 1

Download and install MoveOnBoot http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot...

Then select the file by right clicking on it and from the context menu select (delete on next boot).

Restart your PC and it'll be gone.

Then do a virus scan.

Answer 2

here's a tip... DON"T DOWNLOAD p**n THROUGH LIMEWIRE.... anyways, a file that large is probably not a virus.  typically the viruses on limewire are smaller - usually between 100KB and 5,000KB.  Usually when you can't delete a file through limewire, a message will pop up saying "The file is in use by another application."  This is most likely because someone is trying to upload the file from you.  Try restarting Limewire and then deleting the file... If this doesn't work then your gonna need some better anti-virus software.

Answer 3

If it's labeled like that than you can nearly always assume its a virus - the file comes up no matter what you search. Next time be sure to be more careful. I had this same problem but with a video - all I can say to do is to

move it to a folder where you will definately not open it
