That was my first thought. Delete it from my computer. A friend of mine has suggested a spyware I can download. I'll remove Limewire completely from my computer and start all over again.
It appears that I did download from the official site. This is the link I downloaded from:
Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «
Thank you both for your quick response and suggestions. They are much appreciated and I will definitely do as you suggest. I am just surprised that downloading from the official site has somehow allowed this to happen. I have downloaded from "many" sites over the years and this is the first one that this has happened on. Hmmm . . . ?
