What kind of a virus is version cue myprojectshidden and how do I get rid of it?
Version Cue is a part of Adobe software. It is installed with any piece of Adobe software. There are 2 parts to Version cue: the server side and the client side. For those working with Adobe software you will know that adobe software does not work well with networks and files can become corrupt when saved over a network. So adobe decided to create a system that is intended to work across networks: thus Version Cue.
You install the version cue server on one computer and save all your files on this computer and then work on the files on other computers. This allows for versions of your documents to be saved and is useful for large design studios who need to manage many versions of files.
If you do not have the server installed version cue is still enabled in each application you have installed. In CS3 you open documents using the Adobe dialog, you will see this option in the File > Open or File > Save menus. If you have ever clicked on the Adobe dialog option then the myprojectshidden file gets created so that when you try to connect to the server, any documents are ready to be saved or opened.
Version cue is actually not a virus of any kind, however, since it "calls or queries" a server it can be flagged as a virus. Most viruses have a call or query that starts an action of some kind that damages your computer or sends spam messages to other computers. SO because version cue includes the same type of query to start an action some anti-virus software will flag version cue.

Resident Viruses
This type of virus is a permanent which dwells in the RAM memory. From there it can overcome and interrupt all of the operations executed by the system: corrupting files and programs that are opened, closed, copied, renamed etc.
Direct Action Viruses
The main purpose of this virus is to replicate and take action when it is executed. When a specific condition is met, the virus will go into action and infect files in the directory or folder that it is in and in directories that are specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file PATH. This batch file is always located in the root directory of the hard disk and carries out certain operations when the computer is booted.
Overwrite Viruses
Virus of this kind is characterized by the fact that it deletes the information contained in the files that it infects, rendering them partially or totally useless once they have been infected.
The only way to clean a file infected by an overwrite virus is to delete the file completely, thus losing the original content.
Examples of this virus include: Way, Trj.Reboot, Trivial.88.D.
Boot Virus
This type of virus affects the boot sector of a floppy or hard disk. This is a crucial part of a disk, in which information on the disk itself is stored together with a program that makes it possible to boot (start) the computer from the disk.
The best way of avoiding boot viruses is to ensure that floppy disks are write-protected and never start your computer with an unknown floppy disk in the disk drive.
Examples of boot viruses include: Polyboot.B, AntiEXE.
Macro Virus
Macro viruses infect files that are created using certain applications or programs that contain macros. These mini-programs make it possible to automate series of operations so that they are performed as a single action, thereby saving the user from having to carry them out one by one.
Examples of macro viruses: Relax, Melissa.A, Bablas, O97M/Y2K.
Directory Virus
Directory viruses change the paths that indicate the location of a file. By executing a program (file with the extension .EXE or .COM) which has been infected by a virus, you are unknowingly running the virus program, while the original file and program have been previously moved by the virus.
Once infected it becomes impossible to locate the original files.
Polymorphic Virus
Polymorphic viruses encrypt or encode themselves in a different way (using different algorithms and encryption keys) every time they infect a system.
This makes it impossible for anti-viruses to find them using string or signature searches (because they are different in each encryption) and also enables them to create a large number of copies of themselves.
Examples include: Elkern, Marburg, Satan Bug, and Tuareg.
File Infectors
This type of virus infects programs or executable files (files with an .EXE or .COM extension). When one of these programs is run, directly or indirectly, the virus is activated, producing the damaging effects it is programmed to carry out. The majority of existing viruses belong to this category, and can be classified depending on the actions that they carry out.
Companion Viruses
Companion viruses can be considered file infector viruses like resident or direct action types. They are known as companion viruses because once they get into the system they "accompany" the other files that already exist. In other words, in order to carry out their infection routines, companion viruses can wait in memory until a program is run (resident viruses) or act immediately by making copies of themselves (direct action viruses).
Some examples include: Stator, Asimov.1539, and Terrax.1069
FAT Virus
The file allocation table or FAT is the part of a disk used to connect information and is a vital part of the normal functioning of the computer.
This type of virus attack can be especially dangerous, by preventing access to certain sections of the disk where important files are stored. Damage caused can result in information losses from individual files or even entire directories.
Worms
A worm is a program very similar to a virus; it has the ability to self-replicate, and can lead to negative effects on your system and most importantly they are detected and eliminated by antiviruses.
Examples of worms include: PSWBugbear.B, Lovgate.F, Trile.C, Sobig.D, Mapson.
Trojans or Trojan Horses
Another unsavory breed of malicious code are Trojans or Trojan horses, which unlike viruses do not reproduce by infecting other files, nor do they self-replicate like worms.
Logic Bombs
They are not considered viruses because they do not replicate. They are not even programs in their own right but rather camouflaged segments of other programs.
Their objective is to destroy data on the computer once certain conditions have been met. Logic bombs go undetected until launched, and the results can be destructive.

How do you know if you have a Trojan virus?
Some trojan horse viruses are more easy to spot than others. Easy signs of a trojan include but aren't limited to:
- Fake viral programs that contain spelling errors or is associated with an unknown company
- Computer becomes very slow over a short period of time (even under a small workload)
- Constant pop-ups that seem suspicious
- Longer start-up and shutdown times
- More spam mail (less used tactic, but if you see an email for Viagra or Cialis DON'T open it)
Other signs that are more difficult to spot out are:
- Unusual load time for a commonly used webpage (like Google, MSN, Facebook, or Bing)
- Random permissions from an unknown program through Microsoft's UAC control (for Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems)
Some words of advice:
- Use a reliable antivirus program (I personally recommend Avast)
- DON'T download anything from an unreliable source
Did Robot come from the term reboot?
No, the word robot comes from the Czech word "robota," meaning "industrial labor." The word first appeared in Karel Capek's science fiction play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921.
Malware can be very harmful to your personal computer so firstly you need to scan your PC frequently with a strong virus detector such as AVG or Avast to see if the threat still remains, then to be on the safe side, I would strongly recommend an anti-malware software, specifically designed to get rid of dangerous malware. The most popular is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It's also important to back up your files regularly in case you happen to encounter a virus that got into your computer before you had any anti-malware support or was able to hijack your computer via the Internet. In the case that you didn't back up your files and you don't want to buy a new computer or sacrifice all your important files, (eg. pictures, documents...) there are programs that are specially designed to cure certain viruses, provided that you know the name and/or problem.

Has anyone been prosecuted for using LimeWire?
It is not illegal for anyone to use Limewire. It is simply illegal to download copyrighted files on Limewire, and the only people who may be charged for this is the original downloader. When other Limewire users download the existing file, it is simply called "file sharing," and it is most definetly not illegal.
Soooo....no, no one has been prosecuted for using Limewire-just for downloading coyrighted files on to Limewire. If you aren't copyrighting anything, you have not broken the law, and have simply participated in file sharing.
