I'm still getting an error message every five minutes on my computer! It's like a virus, or something, and it's driving me crazy! How do I get this junk off my puter???

I assume that you had LW starting up by itself prior to the uninstallation as described in this thread:

If so, then you're right. You got a virus. But "this crap" id not LW, it's the file you downloaded from the network containing the virus and you not scanning it properly with an up-to-date AV program.......

To prevent such things from happining again, consider to use the following programs to protect your computer:

http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG)

http://www.ewido.com(free trial which can still be used and updated after the period has ended -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you can't get rid of the virus by yourself, go here and get some free computer help:
