The simple answer is no, I've only used limewire to download music, not prog's, games or DVD's.

All of the titles where in those categouries, so far as I understood you have to download and open the infected programs I haven't done either.

When my checker first started reporting these prog's I went and had a look in the folder, no sign of them, (not hidden files either), so where they came from or how they got there I have no idea, perhaps someone used a breach in my security to remotely place them on my laptop so that I would spread them, I don't know.

It's got me puzzled!
