The icon you use is the one called LimeWire. The other is related to startup items I believe AFAIK. So unless you want LW starting up when you boot up, don't worry about it.
I use QT Pro for video all the time, but a minor update is not generally so relevant.
There's a chance QT might not be your problem but we'll wait & see.
