I wasn't sure if this was the right place but here goes. I rarely use Limewire and lately it has been connecting when my computer starts up which is aggravating the crap out of me. I have tried going to options and making sure that isn't checked, which it isn't and it still pops up on me. Sooooooo I had enough and decided I was uninstalling the thing. Well guess what! Now I get this stupid pop up that is as follows:

LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 2796304/4128768
