I deleted Limewire from my computer, but have found "strange" files on my harddrive. I am unable to locate and terminate them. I would be grateful for any response.

Could you clarify finding files you are unable to locate

The files I attempted to locate ended in .zip. They are movie files which I unknowingly gave harddrive access to. When I conduct a virus scan, it reveals the files in my C drive under Documents and Settings. Beyond that I am lost.

Click start then search, click Documents etc, type .zip then click search to see if you get the same ones the virus scan shows

The search engine is what I originaly tried to find the files with. The only .zip files that do show up are folders of combinations of letters and numbers, non of which contain the movie files.

Click start then search, click Documents, click use advanced search options, click what size is it, set the size to at least 5000, leave the file name empty, click search

Doing as you instructed, the search revealed my cookies.

The figure is KB so if you have an idea of the file size you can try that

Run these to see what they find

You have my gratitude, Keith. The websites you recommended identified the infections in my computer and removed them. Thank you.
