Thank you very much for the tips! As of right now I'm gonna try downloading the installation file. However, on the Start button with the All Programs, I moused over Limewire and it doesn't have the Uninstall on it, just Limewire.

I don't know where else to uninstall it if the other tips doesn't work...
