I just tr?ed Limewire software due to a recent suggestion of my friend. As soon as I intalled the software, my Spy-bot program warned me and found a spware in Limewire program. I am attaching the information from the Spybot log file:

2/1/2010 6:31:44 PM Encountered and terminated Win32.Agent.oc in C:\Program Files\LimeWire\execNoWindow.exe!

So, Limewire software installed Win32.Agent denen spyware. This spyware is a very tricky one as I did some research about it. It saves itself in Windows registry with a different name and automatically installs other spywares to your computers. And, without your permission. If you see any program in your task manager, it means that your computer is infected with this spyware.

sskupdater.exe
ssk.exe
sskupdater.exe5102.exe
ssk.exe
5102.exe

The easiest way to clean this spyware is install Spybot and run a complete scan for your computer. It is also important to uninstall Limewire to stop unauthorized usage of your computer by others. Of course, this spyware is known one and if you consider about the ones that haven’t been discovered yet, you can think about the security threat of your computer.
