found dozens of pedo movies on my comp
hi,

yesterday i downloaded limewire to download some songs. Then today i found about 200-300 porno movies in the saved and shared files folder. Many of these are illegal. I didn't open any but i read the titles. These were inside a folder called 'gewoon clips'.. I live in holland. How is this possible? Am i in legal danger? There is bestiality, rape and incest. In all there is 8.89GB of it!

I was lent this laptop about a month ago. Could these have been downloaded by the previous owner? Infact when i installed limewire yesterday it mentioned that there were some previously installed components. Any way to find out when the movies were downloaded?

Please help.

Right click the files then find "Date Created:" and it should list the date these were created. If the date shows that you had the laptop and you know for sure nobody else did it then it is a virus. Try running a virus scan and posting a HiJackThis log here.

Good luck.

I can tell you one thing, you won`t be getting any limewire support here as that is not allowed. Another case of P2P strikes again.
