Well

My daughter is home from uni for the weekend and she asked me to find out why the volume wheel on her lappie was not working sometimes and whilst checking her new laptop I noticed she had limewire on there and when I checked MSSE it had actually found a trojan in a music file she had tried downloading. I scanned the whole PC as a precaution as she was still dead to the world at midday and I have to say it appears to use minimal resources when scanning and is quite fast in all operations.

It is definitely going on my PC when subscription is finished

Is Limewire still going ?

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

I'll ask her but I cannot see her putting it on there if it was not
