Corrupted file keeps messing with my limewire.

Windows Vista, I am the adminstrator on this account. I have Norton's Firewall. I use cable. I don't have limewire right now, I just reuninstalled it again.

I've been using limewire for awhile now, I just updated to the newest version recently. Yesterday, I went to download a .zip file and it ended up being corrupted. So I deleted it from it's location and thought that was that. But now, at startup limewire will start on it's own(which I don't have it setup for) and it keeps bringing up a message saying something along the lines about me having to find a new folder because a file was corrupted, and it isn't my original file location. This keeps happening. So I completely uninstalled Limewire and restarted my computer and now I keep getting a message that reads, "One or more necassary files seem to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing limewire again. If the probelm persists, please visit limewire.com and click the 'support' link. thank you." Than below it is a message that reads,
"LimeWire version 4.18.8

I uninstalled limewire several times and I just cannot figure out where the corruption may be.
