So you probably hadn't noticed but I was gone for a week and a half.
Not by choice.
My computer f*cked and deleted files that were necessary for it too boot, and my f*cking jew stepfather waited til the last minute to spend any money to fix it.

So we take it to this computer nerd to fix it and the f*cking Greek destroys all of my files, many we paid for, and tells us Limeware is to blame for most of it. So I'm like wtf.

Anyways, do you suggest any Good antivirus/spyware protection because apparently Norton didn't do shit?

For Spyware, I have Spybot and Livesoft? Ad-aware. I have both to catch what the other let's slip through the crack but I think it's causing lag.

I'm not too sure about anti-virus because mine came free from my college. But it's McAfee and I haven't had a problem.

This works for me, and its free, the only thing is that it doesn't protect your computer from viruses getting into your PC unless you pay for it, but it does remove viruses that get into your PC.

ccleaner? I thought it deletes unneccesary files and makes your computer run faster?
Does it also delete bad viruses?
O and just stop using limewire!

I agree, download Ad-Aware. CCleaner doesn't remove harmful things from your computer, but it's still a useful program to have. I use it every day.

Best Anti-Virus, hands down. Ask real geeks about this anti-virus.

And stay away from Limewire. Get your hands on Soulseek.
