computer problems

[mrtruckster]

Hello this is Mike from houston, you got a nice forum here with some good topics and I hope you can help me with some tehnical problems 
I recently downloaded couple files from limewire and now my computer is acting really messed up, It takes long time to start and after turning on
I get many notifications from my firewall that something is trying to connect to the internet, Im worried if they may be trojans or viruses and
that someone is trying to steal my passwords. 

Well thats it, stupid problem and I hope that it has a nice easy solution that you can come up with, Im getting all your replays to my email
so I´ll keep an eye on the topic, take care.

You're probably right, Limewire is notorious for malware. You should run a good Anti-Virus and scan all files coming into your computer (no matter what the source).
I would recommend you do an online scan as well. TrendMicro is a good one .. there are others.
