Default Uninstalling Limewire - Problems

PLEASE PLEASE --- I need help getting this DAMN program off my computer. It has caused nothing but problems and it will NOT let me uninstall it!!! First the program constantly pops up and installs it self. I close it and 30 seconds later it pops up and runs itself. time and time again - over & over.

I first tried to uninstall limewire by using it's own uninstall program. When that didn't work I re-installed the stupid program (of course, it did the same thing again and again). I then went to control panel & used remove programs to try to get rid of this thing.

Each time, I still have a dialog box popping up and saying that it can't load Limewire because a file is missing or corrupt. I can delete the dialog box BUT it keeps popping up like Limewire did OVer & Over

Please HELP - I never want to see limewire on my computer again if I can get rid of it

You have a worm. This is usually caused by downloading an infected file! There's a fix here to try, it's worked for a lot of people. Click on the link below.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan all files that you download before you open them.
