@angelicfilth, i have the same thing, the message keeps popping up. this happened after i removed limewire with "add/remove programs". as, i now learn, i shouldn't have :s
The limewire folder is still in c/program files, though it's not visible in the program files menu under start. the content of the limewire folder can't be removed, supposably because the item is in use. but i can't stop it either, because ctrl+alt+del seems to have been disabled.
i also tried installing limewire again, but that's impossible because i need to remove the unremovable files first.
awful software. hope someone comes up with a solution to this problem... help!...

Before you deleted your limewire did it pop up all the time, even after you had shut it down??
Does this error report pop up all the time ???

thx, i'll try the ccleaner thing... i already checked for viruses, but didn't find any.
i'm especially worried that ctrl+alt+del seems to be disabled
