and I can't find any Limewire on my computer, but this pop up with that stuff which is above keeps popping up. Is there a way to install and then delete limewire completely even though they say there is already limewire on thiS?

That's usually a worm....read here:

If the suggestions made in this thread do not solve your problem, try to open your task manager (crlt&alt + delete -one time), there you go to processes and look for a limewire.exe process. If found force it to end.

Then use the search function of your computer to look for any remaining LW files using the search query "limewire". Delete all those file found.
Then open your regedit via Run...>Regedit. Go to local machines and look for the Limewire folder. Delete it.

That should it be...

Cheers

I almost get everything you said. Near the end, I get a little confused..so can you explain to me in teenage language??

Okay, the last step:

Look at the left bottom corner of your desktop. There is a button saying "START". Click it. Now look for "Run...". Click it. Now type "regedit" into it and click "OK". A window will open. There you go to "Local Machine". Look for the folder "Software". Open it. Then look for the folder "Limwire". Right click the folder and delete it.
That's it.

didn't work..when I put in regedit..it said "regeditis not valid" and something more..this thing is starting to get really annoying..sorry if I'm annoying you..but this computer is really stupid

major distress
