Well I found out for me it was only downloading a single thing of limewire and I had a whole bunch of various spyware and trojans. I guess thats what I get for not paying for my software :razz:

Things I tried using and had limited success. It seemed that every program picks up some spyware but none hit them all.

pandasoftware - online scanner
bullguard - online scanner and downloadable program
adaware - downloadable
spybot - downloadable
xoftspy - online (i think)
cwshredder
AVG
hijack this
winpatrol

Eventually winpatrol would just alert me to certain programs that wanted to start. I would go in and delete them. After figuring out what the filenames were I ended up putting my computer in safemode, manually deleting them and then running all of the antivirus/spyware programs I had installed at the moment (bullguard, spybot and Microsoft Antispyware). Then I restarted my computer and I've been good so far.

Good luck!
