Just let it scan, it might take a while, going through your whole computer. \the infected files, you will get to delete them, when the scan is done.
Sounds like you got it right. :)

Does it usually take this long?

It says Infected: 228

And Counting I guess, And it's scanned over 22,0000.

Depends on how many files you have on your hard disc, the size of your hard disc and the speed of your computer processors. just let it do its thing and dont worry about it Patrick, malwarebytes is good.

A full scan with that program take 1hours 30 minutes for me. But it depends what you have on your comp really.

Patrick 08-08-2010 09:29 PM

It's done scanning now :) and remove everything.

I'm going to switch back to the normal Vista and off from Safe Mode, if it's all these pop ups again and that bitch is still there waiting to annoye me I'm going to cry.

:elephant: Good stuff,Patrick.
My advice would be to run a short scan once a week and a full scan once a month but ALWAYS update it before you run a scan.

No problem Patrick, I think I was very helpful.

GypsyGoth 08-08-2010 11:50 PM

I downloaded malwarebytes and tried it out, it has scanned half this laptop and already found 4 infected objects.

GypsyGoth 09-08-2010 12:37 AM

Ok it found 7 in total, one of which was in the lastfm program.

Theres enough of them Patrick, and enough that are free to last a good few years pmsl.

Its not just limewire, some torrent files will carry them as well, always scan before opening any file you aint sure of. Download only off "respected" torrent sites that have either closed membership or 100% checks of all torrents, at least until a lot of people have downloaded and checked it for you.
