Ha....they asked me to babysit when the kids were about 3 and 4.

I told the kids it would be great to paint their faces, which turned into painting their clothes and the walls.
Then there was an argument about the paint which turned into a full on scrap which I cheered on from the sidelines.

They werent used to being encouraged to fight and started crying and hugging each other.

I was never asked to babysit again :D :D :D :D

Sorry, but getting back to the original topic...

Try installing Microsoft's AntiSpyware off their site. Hopefully when you run that it will detect those bad files and you'll be able to get rid of them.

Cheers Driftingalong think we all got a bit sidetracked!

I installed the AntiSpyware and run the computer scan but it hasnt detected them, i dont think they are virus files or anything so they arent actually showing up as "bad" files. They are protected by something which doesnt let you delete them...i guess they arent actually harming my computer but they are taking up so much space i cant save anything else to my computer.

Thanks for the advice though

Is it like a trojan or worm??


Haha - I love it. Spoken like a true porn master!

About deleting the files. The first thing to try is what Jen suggested. Make sure you are changing the preferences on the actual file on where it is stored on your computer and not in limewire (I am assuming limewire is some sort of file sharing thing). ie in C:\Program Files\limewire\files or something like that. First try and delete them. Then check the preferences as suggested to make sure that the attribute of Read Only is not selected.
When you try to delete them make sure that limewire is not running. This may hold the files so windows thinks that they are in use. To close this press ctrl+alt+delete at the same time. This brings up the task manager. Select the application tab and you may see the program running there. If so then highlight it and click end task. Once done go and delete the files.

Still no luck? I have another couple of tricks.
