Delete from "My music"

[Guest]

My son regularly downlaods music from Limewire. Somehow porn was downloaded
to "my music" as well. He tells me he didn't do it and that it happens a lot.
This time he said he couldn't delete it. When you right click on it, it
doesn't give you the option to delete. The only choices I have are: Play,
Import to photoshop, add to playlist, add to now playing, add to burn list,
add to sync list, open, and lastly, "send to" various places. That is all.
Have tried everything to delete including running spyware and virus software.
Nothing ereadicates this entry in "my music." Can someone help me?

Hi,
Try to delete the file in safe mode and locate the file and delete it.
If still no joy try to take the ownership of the file and delete it,, on how
to take the ownership read this article:

If still you can't delete download this tool from here:

Downloading files with Limewire is asking for trouble. The amount of spyware
and viruses-riddled files that look real is enormous.

Hi Terry,
Download this tool and run then send the Report to the Aumha Forum, don't
send it here because it's n't allowed.
Download the HijackThis from here:
http://www.aumha.org/free.htm
On the Aumha Forum there are Expts they will see the Log file and ell you
how to remove the entries for it.
Meanwhile try not to Access it as you can spread the problem on your system
if it was a New Virus.
Try do a scan online from here:

HTH.
Good Luck.
Please let us know your outcome as your input will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, but your post did not provide a solution,

You have two problems. One is the current infection, and the second is how
to prevent future infections. They will likely keep coming unless you stop
the conduit, ie file sharing using limewire.

Nass,

Thank you very much! The "purge" download did the trick. Damn thing is

You are welcome and thanks for the feedback, keep an eye on things and on
your Computer traffics in/out of it to be sure all clean and limit the
downloads from the limewire.
Good luck
