Hi pepsigirl,
Yes, that would certainly explain how you got infected. Limewire and P0rn sites are notorious for infecting peoples machines. If your boyfriend continues to visit these sites, and download off Limewire, I can assure you that YOU WILL BE INFECTED AGAIN. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. This time, as of right now, you had quite a bit of infected files already on your system, however it does appear that it was relatively mild. You were lucky. Keep in mind that there are significant viruses, that can be caught from some adult sites, and from Limewire. I would hate to see you catch something that can harvest personal data such as passwords, bank account numbers, and such.
Please keep in mind that a lot of helper sites on the web, will not help you clean your system if you are using P2P programs (Limewire). Please see THIS LINK for Malware Removals policy on peer2peer programs.
Also some additional information:
P2P Warning!
IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer.
Limewire
Please note that as long as you are using any form of Peer-to-Peer networking and downloading files from non-documented sources, you can expect infestations of malware to occur
Once upon a time, P2P file sharing was fairly safe. That is no longer true. You may continue to use P2P sharing at your own risk; however, please keep in mind that this practice may be the source of your current malware infestation
I'd like you to read the Guidelines for P2P Programs where we explain why it's not a good idea to have them.

See Clean/Infected P2P Programs here
I would recommend that you uninstall LimeWire, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove these programs, you can do so via Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs.
If you wish to keep it, please do not use it until your computer is cleaned.
I am reviewing your Kaspersky log, and I will post a new fix later today. Thanks.
