Ok here is the story: I was sat browsing a web compic called cyanide and happieness, and facebook when suddenly windows (xp) told me that my avg anti virus was a virus.
Then avg popped up and said that this windows program was a virus :s but the windows program wouldn't give up and wouldn't let me close it so I turned my laptop off by the button.
When I turned it back on again, it started up as normal (to begin with) then all of a sudden after logging ontomy windows login a "copy right infrigment" thingpopped up and doesn't go away, it says there is a file on my computer that breaches copy right laws.
The name of said file is "BackgroundDownload.torrent" now I know at first glance I though oh torrent that is wired but I remembers I was told once that wow patches were downloaded via peer 2 peer (dunno if that's true or not)
anyway, I managed to log onto my brothers windows login (not a shared computer but he has a login anyway) and I used "start" "search" after searching for a while it found the file in the world of Warcraft program files folder :s it is 63kb big and was last modified on 8/12/2009 18:53 (dunno if that helps but it's worth a shot)
I was wondering if anyone else had this or can give me any information or tell me how to or if I should delete it or any information will be useful
thanks in advance, I am on my iPod touch ATM so sorry for poor spelling etc. I am just trying to get control of my computer back (I'm also hoping the copy right message that comes up isn't real) so yeah thanks and if you have any questions about it I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability
I have already posted this on the general forums, but I was told to post it again here for a better response
