Default .jpi_cache... HELP PLEASE! PC freeze!

Hello,
I really don't know what is going on..
I had Limewire and Bearshare installed on my pc (win ME) and both worked. I decided to stick with Gnucleus so uninstalled these other two programmes. Here is the problem;
I installed mcaffee virus scan and it froze my computer at the file
C:\windows\.jpi_cache\jar\1.0
I tried and retried to run the scan but every time I had to reboot because not even ctrl+alt+del would get me out. That meant going through all the rubbish of scanning hard drives.
Next I used 'search' to find files and 'search' froze the pc at this file/s
I then went into Explorer to try and have a look at what was going on. It appeared that there was advertising stuff in this folder but then I tried to open the file 1.0 and my pc froze again.
NEXT! I thought "What have I installed recently that had advertising?" aah! bloody Limewire and Bearshare. Solution=shove this junk in the recycle bin and see what happens! I thought it was stuff left over after the programmes were deleted.
Whack! When I tried to delete the folder '.jpi_cache' it froze on me.

Does anyone know what is going on and how I can get this stuff tidied up?

Thanks.. Rick
