So i was, listening to some of my music from limewire. And i have AVG as anti-virus program. It does that scan when you want it to, or when you have set it too.
Anyways it scan's and 7"Threats" come up... It says it have deleted, so just to be sure i reboot(restart) my computer.
And now when i start up it say's: Due to some secruity stuff some program shuts down my pc. it says like 60,59,58... and when it reachers 0... well you know what happens XD

I have AVG aswell but mine is fine it just moves my threats to the virus vault for deletion. If you had a Trojan virus your computer would be screwed!!!

limewire

The fact that you are using Limewire over some Torrenting...makes me question the credibility of that statement.

AVG never done that to me! Anyways, try re-installing it and install it with:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

It a pretty good combo and I did that for a year and nothing happened. Try updating AVG.

I'm 100% sure it is Limewire. I ran that forever, and got buckets of viruses. Thank you Webroot.

...But you still have a virus. Seriously, for the $20 it costs to get it removed just do it. You won't die from being $20 out of pocket.
