Toshiba Phone System

Vista not starting after downloading limwire?

Just got new toshiba computer, OS windows vista home primium, It is for my brother, and he hasen't seen it yet. So I though I should start downloading things like MSN and itunes. Things he uses alot. So after everything, things were going well. I downloaded limewire, and it finished the download, and at the point in the little firefox box where it says scanning for viruses, the computer froze. So I turned off the computer, and now when it turns on, it goes to, start windows normally, or run wizard or something with the (recomended) next to it, it says it will find the problem and fix it. When it does this, is says at the bottem windows is looking for gfiles, it finishes that in about 5 seconds, then the vista bar comes up when you turn on your computer, the bars go across it as to show its loading vista. Both the help option and the start windows normally option take me to this, but there is no windows vista sign above the bar, just the bar, and it doesn't load after sevral minutes. If I can't fix it, what do I do. It came with re-installation discs, but the last time I used those on my other laptop with vista, it gave me vista, but no drivers, and after hours and hours with dell pn the phone i got it working, turns out you do it on the actally computer, a system restore, but I can't access that. PLEASE HELP There isen't that option, the only options are start windows normally, and the wizard one How do I format it and f- off, i diden't ask about your stupid opinion on vista, lay the hell off

1. If you have Limewire, you have a virus. Try booting in safe mode and running a virus scan.
2. you got a virus from it your you might just have to unblock it from the windows firewall.
3. Format it, and NEVER ever in your LIFE, use P2P sharing programs again! They only have viruses or bring viruses to you. Just use The Pirate Bay + uTorrent. =)
4. vista isn't compatible with a lot of software. save yourself alot of trouble and bluescreens, ditch the vista and go back to good ol' xp or wait for windows 7
5. yeah it's true you must have gotten the virus from limewire. But if you are still insistent on using limewire, then link up your antivirus program to limewire to automatically scan any downloaded file immediately it is downloaded. Also be careful of conspicuous results, and a lil bit of getting used to will ensure you'll never have viruses. Heck, i've been using limewire for 5 years without a single virus.
