Hey guys I need help..

I downloaded what I though to be 2 music videos on limewire, but when they finished, I tried to play them and theres nothing that plays. Its just a file of nothing, and now I cant delete, move or anything, pretty much stuck in my downloaded files, im scared its a virus or something, how do I get it out?

If you follow the file to its folder it should let you delete it. . I've had a problem with that before. If that does not work do a system restore for a few days back it should delete the file.

if you have any troubles let me know

Did you close limewire when you tried to delete it?
Limewire still might be using the file, or someone might be downloaded it off you.

If you haven't, restart the PC then try to del it again.

Windows restore wont be of any help.

If none of that works, lmk, I'll tell you how to del it from the command prompt.

I really doubt its a virus, I've had this happen many times, windows just gets weird sometimes.
