Hi everyone,well after having to buy a new computer with vista I am having a few problems,I have tried to download limewire,it downloads it but then its gone,no download at all,I have tried this with 360 share and still no downloads,now today I got a attachment (which I was expecting) which was a adobe pdf file,and it will not open at all,if I try to save it says the following error one or more of the attachments check your free disk space,
any ideas as to what could be wrong
advice greatfully received
I guess limewire is not a good free music site is that right (I did have 360 share last year)

Given that Limewire and 360 are riddled with viruses, trojans and spyware and the fact that they are providing downloads of stolen copyright software you could probably say that your nice new PC is now heavily infected.
Do you have any security software installed?

And have you done a full system scan, checking every file on your PC?

In Firefox, If I download a .exe, it appears in the downloads section of the browser. When I then right click on the .exe download, I can then click on the option 'Open Containing Folder' to find out where vista has stored it.
