Hello. I need some help. I got a PowerBook G4 15" about 2 months ago. I downloaded Limewire because I thought that Macs couldn't get viruses. I then uninstalled Limewire because I got all the songs I needed. Everything thing has been fine until now. When I open up iTunes, there is a shared music folder that I did not put there. It is called "Install's Limewire iTunes" and it has songs in it that I know for a fact that I did not download. I am kind of freaking out. Does my brand new Mac have a virus? How do I delete these songs and the shared playlist? I tried crt+click but it just said "open" and "disconnect". PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

limewire has the option of adding songs you've downloaded to a special limewire playlist in itunes. the songs in there are 99.999% positively songs you (or someone else) have downloaded from limewire. to my knowledge there is no virus that downloads random songs and adds them to your itunes library, and the chances of you having a virus infect your machine from downloading songs off limewire is probably somewhere around 0%.
if you want to delete the songs and playlist, highlight them and press delete.

I do not know much about Limewire, but the number of viruses to date that exist for Mac OS X system is a big fat 0. If there was a successful malware attack against Macs it would be big news and well documented because it has yet to happennot that it could not happen, but the UNIX underpinnings of OS X make the probability of such an incident p < 6.67x10.
