Limewire: missing shortcut
 

Hi, I never had trouble with Limewire before but am now experiencing it. I am on Windows XP.

I recently had to do a system recovery on my computer because Norton Antivirus was telling me I had a trojan virus but when I downloaded the removal tool, it told me I had nothing ( I ran it a couple of times). Then all these windows started popping up and a bunch of craziness which prompted me to do a recovery.

After that my computer is still going good but everytime I download Limewire, after a couple of days or so, the link or shortcut to it seems to let me know that it is missing and tries to go looking for it. Then it tells me that the shortcut is missing and I basically have to redownload limewire again.

This is just one error report it gave me:
