why does my limewire keep opening itself and storing thousands of zip files?

You probably downloaded either a trojan, virus, or worm onto your computer.  I'd use an online virus checker to see if you have any.  After doing an online virus check and rebooting your PC, download and install an antivirus program.  These are the best 4 I found when searching the web:\n\nMc'Afee Virus Scan (basic)\nAVG 7.5 (don't download 7.1 because 7.1's support will end this January in favor of the 7.5)\nAvast 4.7\nand eset nod32.\n\nI recommend eset myself because it can prevent downloads of files on to you computer if they are malicious.  Hope this helps.  Good Luck

I've been using Limewire for over two years without any problems; or viruses. I suggest you continue using it but .. make sure you do regular (like weekly) virus checks and keep your cookies cleaned out as well as tempoary files, history, ETC. I do a virus check about every three days. If I should find any Adwawre in Limewire, I uninstall it and re-install it. I don't lose any of my music or pending downloads when I do this. I've done it twice. I don't know of any other programs that work as well as Limewire. I've used several and Limewire is the best in my opinion. Good luck.

You Can do It manually be opening up your limewire file in "My Computer", if you have a PC. Then just empty the files you don't want.

Yes, Its because Limewire runs on Java, and java is slow,  with limewire you computer is vunrable to viruses and spyware's. Limewire Make the computer pretty slow as it is, and with the virus's and spyware, it just makes it more slow. Java is that's why no longer a part of windows xp

If you have good virus protection you should be O.K. I assume they were detected and removed before they got on your system\n\nThe viruses are not coming from Limewire. They are coming from the people you are downloading files from. You must have hit some bad ones to get four that quick.

Limewire opens up your computer to viruses and spyware. I know a lot of friends that have made their computers crash beyond repair. its very harmful to your computer and i suggest that you dont use it.

First run a virus scan on them.  If its safe, try opening one.  Chances are you can delete them.  I've never heard of a program that uses those files.

It is bad. This is because:\nLimewire contains something called Ad ware. This means that Limewire holds all of your details like your name, address, telephone number and even bank details. Once you reach a limit of 900 files, Limewire will send a massive bill to your house. If this bill is not paid, Limewire will take it from your bank. You can't report this because it will be your own fault. This has happened to a friend of mine. To prevent this from happening, make a new folder and store all of your files in that folder. If you store your files in the shared folder, Limewire will have a record of it. I want everyone to be aware of downloading music illegally. I use Limewire and i save all of my files in another folder.

That file is part of F-Secure anti virus. If it is giving you a problem, try reinstalling the software.

Norton Antivirus\n\nor goto: http://www.download.com and type in "virus detection" or "virus removal" and try thos programs.\n\nAnd above all stop either looking at massive amounts of pron or illegally downloading music with limewire.

Limewire is full of viruses. Stick to either HTML downloads, FTP sites or if you are a bit more familiar with your computer, try the torrent networks.\n\nuTorrent is a fairly easy to use torrent client.

Do you have a firewall on your computer, sometimes that can stop programs like limewire from connecting.
